    COVER Marion County’s Silver Springs, a spot sacred to local Indians which had awed white visitors since the 1820s, became a popular tourist attraction during the 1870s. Even before the Civil War important visitors like Lady Amelia Murray, lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, and Dr. Daniel G. Brinton, phy- sician and distinguished anthropological scholar, visited and wrote about the springs. Glass bottom rowboats, like the one pictured, early added to the appeal of the springs and their unspoiled surroundings. The rowboats are the forerunn- ners of the modern glass bottom boats for which Silver Springs is famous. This photograph, taken around 1902, is reproduced from Richard J.
