Frederick Drew FGS, FRGS (11 August 1836 – 28 October 1891), was an English geologist, who is noted for his geographical study of Kashmir.
Drew was employed for seven years in the south-east of England, and did much for the geology of the weald, especially in tracing out and describing the subdivisions of the Hastings sands.
[4] He acquired an intimate knowledge of the country and the people, and after his return to England he wrote The Jummoo and Kashmir Territories: a Geographical Account (London, 1875).
It was provided with excellent maps, showing not only the physical features, but the distribution of races, languages, and faiths.
Sir Archibald Geikie has made mention of 'his gentleness, helpfulness, and entire unselfishness, and his quiet enthusiasm for that domain of natural science to which he had given the labours of his life.
