Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native American tales of the medicinal sulfur springs found in what is now Lampasas County drew settlers and, later, tourists who sought cures for various ailments throughout the 19th century. The region soon became known as the "Saratoga of the South," and when the first passenger train arrived in Lampasas in 1882, it opened a new market for the local waters. Entrepreneurial citizens capitalized on the springs, building bathhouses, opera houses, and other amenities. In 1884, the Lampasas County Courthouse was built--the third-oldest Texas courthouse still in use today. Vestiges of Lampasas's heyday are found in Hanna Springs and Hancock Park, which remains a thriving recreational area with a free-flow sulfur pool and an 18-hole golf course. Public murals, a sculpture garden, historic sites, and a proud engaged community draw people to Lampasas County today.

Book excerpt: It was the legendary sulfur springs that attracted Lampasas' first permanent settlers in 1853. Texas pioneer Moses Hughes and his ill wife, Hannah, journeyed to the region after hearing rumors of the area's medicinal waters from Native Americans. Hannah's health improved, and her recovery was credited to drinking and bathing in the springs. Others soon followed and settled throughout the region's wild Texas frontier. The book "Images of America: Lampasas County," released Monday, offers a glimpse into the community's history through 128 pages of vintage photographs and captions spanning from the county's founding in 1856 to the early 1960s. Compiled by the Lampasas County Museum Foundation, the paperback chronicles the area's natural resources and disasters, businesses, schools, architecture, and perhaps most intriguing - the people.
