Abstract

This is a short history of the hotel and mineral springs community that once existed on land owned by the William Blasing family, Zeandale Township, Riley County, Kansas. Although not actually a town, Blasing Springs was a thriving enterprise employing family members and local residents for many years. The hotel was destroyed by a series of tornados in the 1940s. The author used field work, newspapers articles and advertisements, interviews, maps, and biographical studies.
