Rowland Creitz is a former Marine, primary grade teacher, and school consultant. He lived in seven states, in many towns, and overseas before settling down in Stow, Maine. His interest in coal mining communities was sparked by childhood camping in the southern Appalachian Mountains and a map of his father’s 1933 journey through the Clearfork Valley that straddles Tennessee and Kentucky.
