Captured in this collection of mailable vintage-photograph postcards,
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.
