Description: Making of American Resorts : Saratoga Springs, Ballston Spa, and Lake George, Paperback by Corbett, Theodore, ISBN 0813528429, ISBN-13 9780813528427, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Corbett (history, Adirondack Community College) reflects on the question of how the rise of lavish hotels and spas in upstate New York during the early 19th century reflected changing values in American society. He argues that resorts were able to create and re-create themselves in anticipation of consumer demands, and focuses on the rise and fall of resorts at Ballston Spa and Caldwell on Lake George (in which the developers had mixed tourism policies), and the ultimate success of Saratoga Springs, where focus was strictly on tourism.
