Drury Bailey's family thought he had become a casualty of the Civil War. His canteen, all shot up, was found on a battlefield.

But in November 1862, he returned to the Confederate Army after having spent eight months as a prisoner of war.

In all, Bailey emerged unscathed from three years as a soldier – primarily serving as a courier – despite participating in the battles of Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and Atlanta.

“While in the service through heat, rain, sleet and snow, I took my chances as a soldier on the picket lines, battle lines, scouting, destroying Army supplies, railroads, telegraph lines, living mostly off the enemy,” he reminisced years later.

After the Civil War ended, Bailey, two brothers and two cousins returned to their native Georgia to find utter devastation and no work, said Richard Bailey of El Centro, a grandson who has compiled a family history.

Drury Bailey and some family members eventually went to Utah, where they found work building a road leading to a mine. From there, searching for gold, they eventually arrived in the Cuyamaca Mountains east of San Diego, where they had been told there were streams that could be prospected.

“It reminded (Drury) so much of home,” Richard Bailey said. “He was tired and he wanted to settle down.”

And so between late 1869 and early 1870, Bailey staked a homestead claim and founded the town of Julian – named for his cousin Michael Julian.

To encourage development there, Bailey gave away land for homes, schools and churches. He started a blacksmith shop and stable. He also helped establish one of the most productive mines in the Cuyamacas.

Bailey died at age 77. His remains are buried in the Julian Pioneer Cemetery, marked with a small granite headstone that simply says, “Drury D. Bailey, 1844-1921.”
