A century ago, Montgomery White Sulphur Springs was one of Virginia's most elegant mineral springs resorts. This book tells of its time as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War & of the nuns & the doctors who came to tend the sick, the wounded, & the smallpox victims. There are lists of the meager belongings of some of the soldiers, of the supplies ordered when the hospital was being established, of the people who worked there during the war, & of the Confederate soldiers who died there, some of whom were buried in the "Soldiers' Cemetery" nearby. The book also tells of the resort's hey-day of fun & frolic--concerts on the lawn, dancing, & socializing--& names of many of the guests. But in the twentieth century the people stopped coming. Eventually the buildings were removed & the valley returned to its quiet peace. Bodell also tells of the caretaking activities of the local chapter of United Daughters of the Confederacy, of the landowners who have preserved a few of the markers & the monument, & hints at the current threat, a proposed "smart" highway.

Written as a dissertation in history at the U. of Virginia, this study recreates the societal mores displayed at summer resorts at Virginia Springs from 1790-1860, as this was recorded in the letters and other archives of families who sojourned there. Lewis (history, Widener U.) suggests that her history provides a new insight into plantation society by recording responses to unusual events and lack of routine. She supplements the account with some analysis of the sources for the romantic and idealistic views of this culture. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
