Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hot Springs, Arkansas: Its Hotels, Baths, Resorts and Beautiful Scenery The train darts by a little station one catches the words Cove Creek, in black letters. Don't stop now, for the reason that the locomotives of the Hot Springs Railroad have risen to the dignity of coal burners. A couple of years ago they burned wood, and we stopped, and the train crew and passengers - every mother's son of them that could walk and work their arms - used to get out and help wood up. The old visitor to Hot Springs misses this episode; he also misses the fragrance of the penetrating, pungent, tarry smoke that was wont to belch out with such billowy and blinding bountifulness and rejoices thereat. I find it stated in a publication descriptive of Hot Springs. That Cove Creek abounds in trout, and desire to inform the enthusiastic angler that trout is, in Arkansas, a generic term, applied indiscriminately to any kind of fish caught in small streams, but in particular to the black bass. I doubt if there are any brook trout in Arkansas waters, except at Mammoth Springs. There are certainly none in Cove Creek. But, to return to our mutton - the railroad train. \ve will now proceed to labor up further steep grades, shoot around curves so sharp that the rear brakeman can almost shake hands with the engineer, rumble over bridges, until, presto! We find ourselves surrounded by mountains and realize that we are, at last, in the Heart of the Ozarks and nearing our destination.
