William Henry Scott (born Henry King Ahrens; July 10, 1921 – October 4, 1993) was a historian of the Cordillera Central and pre-Hispanic Philippines.[1]
William Henry Scott was born on 10 July 1921, in Detroit, Michigan, where he was christened Henry King Ahrens.[2] His family, of Dutch-Lutheran descent, soon returned to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where Scott spent his boyhood.[3] In 1936, Scott won a three-year scholarship to the Episcopalian-affiliated Cranbrook School in Michigan, United States, where he excelled academically and became interested in pursuing a career as an archeologist.[3] In 1939, after graduating, he changed his name to William Henry Scott.[3] In 1942, Scott joined the US Navy, serving throughout World War II until 1946.
