Notes
a. Note:   N4451 CHAPTER XLIII OUT-OF-DOOR PLEASURE IN SPRINGFIELD PARKS
  It is related that as early as June, 1803 — only two years after the original survey of Springfield — Griffith Foos and Archibald Lowry, with their wives, had grown tired of the density of civilization and they made a pilgrimage to Yellow Springs. It was no doubt the first recreation jaunt — the first excursion party out of Springfield. Looking back over the lapse of years, many citizens have acted upon their suggestion and have gone "far from the madding crowd," and thus a pioneer custom — but that was a fault with most pioneers — they did not take "Little Journeys in the World."
  The Foos-Lowry party went prepared with provisions to spend two or three days — there were no Wayside Inns — and leaving Springfield on horseback the excursionists directed their course toward Dayton until they reached Knob Prairie, when they turned southeast and followed an Indian trail until they came to the springs. They remained two days, unmolested and unseen by tfie Indians, enjoying the picturesque scenery which was then in its wild and uninterrupted state. They describe the site known then only to the Indians as magnificently grand, and while wandering among the beautiful evergreens and the dense shrubbery they discovered two wells in a ravine only a short distance from the river. These wells were three feet in diameter and they had been sunk several feet in the rock ; they seemed to be artificial, and writing about them in 1852 R. C. Woodward said they were still visible. The Springfield tour- ists were the first white party to visit the spot, but since then a train of visitors have gone from Springfield. While they went on horseback, following a trail, the beaten paths now lead to Yellow Springs.
