About This Book

A local compendium about a spa town and its environs that blends personal reminiscence, historical research, anecdotes, physiographical description, natural history, and archaeological notes. It traces the discovery and early development of the mineral waters uncovered during industrial borings, recounts changes in land use and local enterprise, and records personalities, flora, fauna, and antiquities gathered over decades of observation. Chapters mix documentary detail with anecdotal recollection to preserve vanished practices, landscape features, and community memory for general readers and local historians.
