Abstract
O. Orland Maxfield, born in 1925, was raised on a farm near Robinson, Illinois, and he always referred to Robinson as his home. His father was a Methodist minister who died when Orland was eleven. His mother, who graduated from Northwestern University, raised him in a disciplined manner. This shows in the fact that he earned his Bachelor’s degree at George Peabody College for Teachers in three years with a double major in Geography and English, graduating in 1945. He earned his Master’s of Arts degree in Geography at Ohio State University in one year.
