"Springs have held our deep-seated fascination since time immemorial. With profound significance, spring waters have long been associated in folklore, medicine and religion as a sacred symbol of life, healing and purification. The gifts of pure water from the earth were of the utmost importance to the indigenous Indian. This guidebook profiles fifty open-access springs and flowing wells across Indiana, providing descriptions, directions, maps and photographs. These geological gems are easily accessible along roadside and trailside."--Page [4] of cover.
