Background Information:
In the years right after the American Civil War, Silver Springs began to attract tourists from the North via steamboats up the Silver River. Hart Line and Lucas Line steamboat companies competed for the privilege of  transporting visitors to the headwaters of the Silver River, to the point of holding passenger-laden races upriver to the Springs! Railroads also entered service bringing ever-growing numbers of admirers. Silver Springs had become a mandatory stop on the “grand tour” of Florida.
