| Summary | "Saratoga and How to See It" by R. F. Dearborn is a guidebook written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the attractions and historical significance of Saratoga Springs, New York, particularly known for its mineral springs and their therapeutic properties. It is designed to inform both current visitors and those planning to visit, offering insights into the various springs, their medicinal values, and the social activities and accommodations available in the area. The opening of the book discusses the mineral springs of Saratoga, providing a detailed overview of their geological context, historical discoveries, and individual characteristics. Dearborn begins by emphasizing the natural versus artificial nature of the springs, assuring readers of their authenticity. The text goes on to describe the properties of various springs, such as Congress Springs and Geyser Spring, along with their therapeutic benefits, offering a glimpse into their reputations as health-promoting waters.
