Allen Joseph Stout's Journal:
February 2nd 1837 - "We passed by the Hot Springs on the Washataw River, there are about 32 springs issuing from a mountain which is covered with ceader timber: some of them are as hot as water can be made by fire others luke warm, and some as cold as any spring I ever saw. These hot springs wil turn clay in to stone in a few weaks. There are all manner of diseased persons here from all parts of the United States. They come to get there health."
Hot Springs, Arkansas near the Ouachita River region in Arkansas and Louisiana
Another look at the Journal of Allen Joseph Stout.
The Hot Springs are located in Hot Springs, Arkansas. You can read the following account about Hot Springs, Arkansas here…"The city takes its name from the natural thermal water that flows from 47 springs on the western slope of Hot Springs
Mountain in the historic downtown district of the city. About a million gallons of 143-degree water flow from the springs each day."
"In 1832, the Hot Springs Reservation was created by the US Congress, granting federal protection of the thermal waters. The Reservation was renamed Hot Springs National Park in 1921." "It is the smallest national park by area in the United States." "Hot Springs National Park is the oldest federal reserve."

One of the first documented studies of the Hot Springs was conducted through the Hunter - Dunmar expedition in the early 1800's. You can read what they reported about it here…"The reports from both men show that the hot springs had
become an important site for people seeking relief from ailments and infirmities. The expedition met several individuals who had either been to the springs or were on their way to bathe in its waters. When the explorers arrived at the hot springs, they
found evidence that people had lived there for periods of time to take advantage of the location's medicinal virtues. A cabin and several small shacks had been built by people coming to the springs. The explorers used these dwellings during their visit.

So how are the hot springs used today... "People have used the hot spring water in
therapeutic baths for more than two hundred years to treat rheumatism and other ailments. While it was a reservation, the area developed into a well-known resort nicknamed The American Spa that attracted not only the wealthy but indigent health
seekers from around the world as well." "The park has become increasingly popular in recent years, and recorded over 1.5 million visitors in 2003, as well as nearly 2.5 million non-recreational visitors." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Springs_National_Park
