Book Synopsis Desert Hot Springs by : Desert Hot Springs Historical Society
Download or read book Desert Hot Springs written by Desert Hot Springs Historical Society and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cabot Yerxa's discovery of natural hot and cold mineral water in 1914 was the impetus for the establishment of Desert Hot Springs. His eccentric pueblo-style home, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is a unique tourist attraction. L.W. Coffee also recognized the value of the hot water, so he drilled wells and opened his famous bathhouse in 1941. The development of more than 200 spas followed. Angel View Children's Hospital, established in the 1950s, uses the therapeutic water to treat disabled children. The city's extraordinary, pure cold water wins awards such as "best tasting in the world." Desert Hot Springs is the location of architect John Lautner's first desert commission, and Mary Pickford's house still stands at the famous B-Bar-H Ranch that was frequented by movie stars during the 1940s and 1950s. The historic Two Bunch Palms Resort and Spa is known as an exclusive celebrity hideaway. The city, believed to have an unusually strong vortex, is located just south of Joshua Tree National Park. An elevation of 1,200 feet affords most residents magnificent views of both Mount San Jacinto and Mount San Gorgonio.

Aside from the hot springs themselves, the resort boasts one of the oldest golf courses in the western United States.

Book Synopsis The Vortex Made Me Do It by : Bill Effinger
Download or read book The Vortex Made Me Do It written by Bill Effinger and published by . This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story of a city and its people, seemingly making a wrong turn on the road to a better life, and having to live it while hoping for change. The story reads like a B-Movie with high crime, political corruption, illicit sex and bank robberies, mixed with violence, mystery, myth and Indian lore. While laughable at times, the story profiles many of the people and the experiences associated with them, as abject lessons in perseverance, faith and determination in overcoming adversities in their city. Desert Hot Springs is a historical place in the Imperial Desert of California high above the Desert floor identified today as Coachella Valley. The area, once roamed by the Cahuilla and Agua Caliente Indians, became home to Cabot Yerxa, one of the Valley's earliest known settlers in 1913, whose adobe house still stands as a museum and monument to the pioneering spirit of America. According to public records, the local Chamber of Commerce and Mission Springs Water District, the area boasts some of the finest drinking water in the United States, and an abundance of underground mineral spring water rushing to the surface from 105 degrees to 125 degrees in 44 Boutique spas. It is also a place where local lore and some enthusiasts believe there is an "Energy Vortex" in the center of the city creating mystic powers for residents and visitors. Most early settlers of the area were homesteaders, who qualified and secured their 160-acre parcel ownership by constructing the required one-hundred square foot "home" as established by the Homestead Act of the U.S. Government and signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862. The law took effect on January 1, 1863. Now, the city within its boundaries is financially, and infrastructure challenged. There is a small but very active constituency of citizens working as volunteers on civic projects throughout the city, many of whom believe the "natural wonders" of the medicinal quality of "miracle hot spring waters"; the pure drinking water and the "Energy Vortex" will bring prosperity to the city. So far, this hasn't happened.

Book Synopsis Montana's Hot Springs by : Jeff Birkby
Download or read book Montana's Hot Springs written by Jeff Birkby and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Montana's hot springs and hot water resorts bubble with fascinating histories of medical cures, Native American legends, glittering spas, and isolated wilderness soaks. These Montana hot springs provided soothing cures for the aches and pains of Native Americans and early Montana pioneers. A few of the crude bathhouses built by miners and settlers gave way to ornate bathing resorts, replete with some of the most elegant furnishings and facilities available between Minneapolis and San Francisco, from the 1890s through the 1920s. Grand hot springs resorts--including Corwin Hot Springs, Boulder Hot Springs, Hunter's Hot Springs, and Broadwater Hot Springs--flourished and then faded from Montana's landscape. Through photographs, Images of America: Montana's Hot Springs explores the stories and legends of hot-water bathing resorts in Montana.
