Abstract:

Vacation and recreation spots typically heavily populated—Atlantic Beach and the Appalachians. A place formerly popular was Hot Bed Springs. What made the originally named Warm Springs a hot bed for visitors was not entertainment venues, historic sites, or recreation areas. It was the reputed curative powers of its waters.
