Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Preston Ercelle Cloud, Jr. (September 26, 1912 – January 16, 1991) was an American paleontologist, geographer, and professor. He was best-known for his work on the geologic time scale and the origin of life on Earth. Cloud was born in West Upton, Massachusetts and grew up in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania where he developed a love for the outdoors. Preston had a weak high school record. Upon graduating from high school, Cloud spent three years in the United States Navy (1930-1933) where he excelled at boxing. Despite the difficulties of finding employment and getting into a four year college during the Great Depression, Preston paid for his own first semester at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.. An influential figure in Cloud's life was Dr. Ray Bassler, a professor and the curator of paleontology at the National Museum of Natural History. Bassler noticed Cloud's interest in his work, and he arranged for the student to work at the museum.
