Rowland. |
Rowland was named for Henry
Augustus Rowland, born in Honesdale, PA (1848) and died in
Baltimore, (1901). He was an American Physicist who invented
the concave diffraction grating. The grating replaced prisms
in many new applications and changed spectrum analysis. He was
the first president of the American Physical Society (1899-1901)
and a member of the Royal Society of London. |

Here's a partial map of the
Lackawaxen River. Do you recognize this area? There's
the old Stourbridge Line! There's the town named Baoba.
Isn't Baoba the name of a plant in the book " The
Little Prince"? Did you know there is a Teedyuskung Creek?
