Formats include correspondence, documents, and\u00a0photographs. (Some listings may not linked\u00a0as yet\u00a0because the related pages are still under construction.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The histories of Pine Mountain Settlement School are very mixed. Some histories seek to be comprehensive with regard to the early history of the institution, such as <em>Progressives in the Kentucky Mountains: the formative years of the Pine Mountain Settlement School 1913-1930<\/em>, a doctoral thesis by James Greene III.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other histories are more nuanced and cover more limited time-frames or specific periods of the School when the authors were residents at the School as staff or students or associated with the School as trustees or guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the histories are fully autobiographical and cover years at Pine Mountain, but also cover years that the individual was in residence at other locations. Often, histories associated with the satellite settlements of Little Laurel, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=2891\">Big Laurel<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=2992\">Line&nbsp;Fork<\/a> address very specific time periods and events during the early years of the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, the large and small histories contribute to what we now know and imagine about Pine Mountain\u00a0Settlement School over its long 100-plus-year history. And in their volume, they allow us a rich body of information\u00a0with which to form our own interpretations of the history of Pine Mountain Settlement School from a variety of viewpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is hoped that scholars, former students, staff, and trustees will continue to contribute to the written, oral and photographic history of this amazing institution. Not only have such chronicles given the School a close scrutiny that was rewarding for the writer,\u00a0but they\u00a0have become important additions to the Institution&#8217;s archive collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>For links to historical narratives on this site, go to:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=32870\">GUIDE TO PMSS Historie<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=32870\"><strong>s<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pine Mountain Settlement SchoolSeries 04:&nbsp;PMSS HistoriesSeries 04a: Creech HistoriesPINE MOUNTAIN SETTLEMENT SCHOOL HISTORIES HISTORIES TAGS: Pine Mountain Settlement School histories; Creech Family history; 1913-present; rural settlement schools; settlement schools; education; environmental education; boarding schools; The HISTORIES of Pine Mountain Settlement School include written or spoken material gathered by the School&#8217;s former teachers, nurses, doctors, students, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-37312","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.1.2 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
