Once hailed as Louisiana's answer to Hot Springs, Arkansas, Hot Wells drew thousands seeking relief in its warm mineral waters. Governors, entertainers, politicians, and ordinary families flocked to the resort, convinced its remarkable springs offered healing and hope. Yet within a few decades, the bustling destination faded into silence, leaving behind abandoned buildings, forgotten dreams, and a ghost town reclaimed by time.
Award-winning historian Larry Jorgensen uncovers the fascinating story of Hot Wells through rare photographs, newspaper accounts, personal interviews, and extensive historical research. Beyond Hot Wells, he leads readers to other mysterious waters that once attracted visitors from across the South, including White Sulphur Springs at Jena, Belle Cheney Springs, Dossman Springs, Pointe-aux-Loups Springs, Krotz Springs, and the Salt Water Natatorium.
Part travel through Louisiana's hidden past and part detective story, Hot Wells and Other Mysterious Louisiana Waters preserves the rich legacy of the state's lost healing springs, vanished resorts, and forgotten communities before they disappear from memory forever.
"Since its beginnings as a place of healing mineral waters, Hot Wells remains visited, with its past, present and possible future amply documented by Larry continues to be a 'hot' item among his other works for purchase by eager readers." -- Bill Sumrall, Louisiana journalist and writer
"Turkey Creek's mineral springs are a treasured part of Louisiana's heritage, reminding us of a time when people traveled from near and far to experience the healing waters and hospitality of our community. Hot Wells and Other Mysterious Louisiana Waters preserves that remarkable history." -- Heather Cloud, Louisiana State Senator, District 28
