Eureka Springs:: City of Healing Waters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781609496500)

How did the unfettered wilderness of the Ozarks, America's early frontier, evolve into a prized health retreat for early pioneers before settling into a beloved historic town? Eureka Springs was founded for the healing properties of the naturally soothing waters, and that special sense of place has always informed the town's history. Yet a complete chronological history from pre-founding to present-day Eureka Springs has never been written--until now. Respected local historians June Westphal and Kate Cooper tell the whole story of Eureka Springs, recounting the important people and major events that shaped this remarkable town tucked in the Ozarks. Learn how these healing springs were formed and how they, in turn, formed the foundation of a community.
