Synopsis

Early history of a remote area of the Ozarks, which became Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a town that sprouted up virtually overnight in July 1879, following the discovery of curative power in the water. Researchers June Westphal and Catharine Osterhage spent four years culling newspaper articles, historical records, written accounts and rare photographs to compile a fair and accurate description of the City That Water Built. The First Edition of A Fame Not Easily Forgotten (1970) is available only from rare book dealers. This Second Edition is reproduced in its entirety, with the addition of an Index.
