Taking the Waters in Texas

"This book chronicles a fascinating aspect of Texas history...So much of the history of tourism has focused on the grand places that have retained some appeal - such as Saratoga Springs or Newport News - or on the grand dames of the National Park system. This work focuses on the many small-scale, individual entrepreneur operations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This is an important reflection of the scale of operations at the time, of the critical role of individual boosters, and the significance of local creativity in American society...I will certainly add springs to my list of destinations and will have to carry a copy of the book in my car library.".
