Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hot Springs, Arkansas: Its Hotels, Baths, Resorts and Beautiful Scenery The train darts by a little station one catches the words Cove Creek, in black letters. Don't stop now, for the reason that the locomotives of the Hot Springs Railroad have risen to the dignity of coal burners. A couple of years ago they burned wood, and we stopped, and the train crew and passengers - every mother's son of them that could walk and work their arms - used to get out and help wood up. The old visitor to Hot Springs misses this episode; he also misses the fragrance of the penetrating, pungent, tarry smoke that was wont to belch out with such billowy and blinding bountifulness and rejoices thereat. I find it stated in a publication descriptive of Hot Springs. That Cove Creek abounds in trout, and desire to inform the enthusiastic angler that trout is, in Arkansas, a generic term, applied indiscriminately to any kind of fish caught in small streams, but in particular to the black bass. I doubt if there are any brook trout in Arkansas waters, except at Mammoth Springs. There are certainly none in Cove Creek. But, to return to our mutton - the railroad train. \ve will now proceed to labor up further steep grades, shoot around curves so sharp that the rear brakeman can almost shake hands with the engineer, rumble over bridges, until, presto! We find ourselves surrounded by mountains and realize that we are, at last, in the Heart of the Ozarks and nearing our destination.

Book excerpt: From its rise in the 1800s until well into the twentieth century, Hot Springs was a famed resort known worldwide. The grand hotels and world-class bath houses that sprang up around the government-protected springs drew countless visitors, ranging from the famous and wealthy to those of humble means, all seeking the health and pleasure promised by the Spa City's promoters. In the words of a railroad tourist guidebook from about 1910, "A stay at Hot Springs, be it ever so brief, always remains a pleasant memory afterward. It was the writer's good fortune to spend a few days at this popular resort--not as an invalid, I am happy to say, but as a tourist--and I certainly never bathed in more delightful water than that which flows so abundantly from the hot springs of Arkansas. There is buoyancy, a magnetism about it that is simply indescribable." Such has been the experience of countless visitors over the years. Readers will find much of the history of this storied resort in Hot Springs, Arkansas, which is profusely illustrated with vintage postcards and photographs, all carefully interpreted by the authors, Ray and Steven Hanley, with research assistance from Mark Blaeuer of the Hot Springs National Park staff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1890s to the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Early in the century, Hot Springs was among the most noted resorts in the nation. Its Victorian wonders drew thousands of visitors to partake in the hot mineral waters that bubbled from the earth. In the words written on one card in 1910, "Many people of wealth are here from Chicago and New York. Uncle Billy went to the horse show ball at the Eastman Hotel with an ex-wife of a millionaire. Andrew Carnegie and young Jay Gould were at the ball." Showcased in this fascinating collection are over two hundred postcards from 1900 to 1960. The images are accompanied by the actual penned messages of visitors and extensively researched historical facts.
