Excerpt from Western Texas as a Winter Resort: Via the "Sunset Route" It is not enough that a place shall possess a mild climate, to make it a desirable winter resort. It must also have beautiful scenery and facilities for sport and recreation; It must present features which shall interest educated and refined persons. The society must be such as will be agree able to ladies and gentlemen of culture. The medical faculty must be of superior attainments, and the churches those in which the worship of the God of beauty is rendered with eloquence and musical harmony. In short, a winter resort must possess, besides a genial climate and perfect health fulness, all the advantages of advanced civilization.

This historical study reveals a fascinating yet forgotten aspect of life in nineteenth century Texas—its once-famous mineral spring health spas. Southern Texas once boasted an enviable variety of mineral waters. Though most are closed and nearly forgotten today, Texas spas and resorts once drew thousands of visitors from across the country. They came seeking rejuvenation of body and spirit in the healing mineral waters. This book offers the first comprehensive history of Texas’ healing springs. Janet Valenza tracks the rise, popularity, and decline of the "water cure" from the 1830s to the present day. She follows the development of major spas and resorts, such as Mineral Wells and Indian Hot Springs near El Paso, as well as smaller, family-run springs. Valenza also describes how mineral waters influenced patterns of settlement, transportation routes, commerce, and people’s attitudes toward the land. Period photos and quotes from those seeking cures offer vivid glimpses into the daily life at the springs, which Valenza lists and describes county-by-county in the appendix.
