About this book

During the heyday of spas, two luxurious hotels, owned by flamboyant competing visionaries, attracted the rich and famous to southern Indiana. Hotel guests came from throughout the United States in search of cures and pleasure. Among the many noted celebrities visiting the French Lick Springs and West Baden Springs Hotels were Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Al Capone, Joe Lewis, and professional golfer Walter Hagen, and the West Baden Springs Hotel was known as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.' After years of neglect, the two hotels have been restored to their original splendor. Legalization of gambling and the building of a 'riverboat' casino between the hotels have lured pleasureseekers to celebrate modernday opulence and recreation.
