The Eaglet and Crow Woman Story centers around a rescued Eaglet. He would never have survived with out the caring and kindness given him by the forest animals and the farm animals he was taken too. The spirit of Crow Woman provides Eaglet with the ability to soar high and carry on life's message of Kindness, Love, and Caring to others. M.Jane Holt, descendant of the Pamunkey Tribe of Va. draws upon her Native American Heritage to teach a lesson in humanity. That Kindness to strangers in need is a responsibility, not a choice. This is the message of the story.

'​Ruth was so excited to take a trip in her family's new car! In the early 1950s, few African Americans could afford to buy cars, so this would be an adventure. But she soon found out that black travelers weren't treated very well in some towns. Many hotels and gas stations refused service to black people. Daddy was upset about something called Jim Crow laws . . 

Finally, a friendly attendant at a gas station showed Ruth's family The Green Book. It listed all of the places that would welcome black travelers. With this guidebook―and the kindness of strangers―Ruth could finally make a safe journey from Chicago to her grandma's house in Alabama.

Ruth's story is fiction, but The Green Book and its role in helping a generation of African American travelers avoid some of the indignities of Jim Crow are historical fact.

In March 2013, the Blue Sulphur Spring pavilion and two acres of land were donated and deeded by its then-owner, Mrs. Rebecca Fleshman Lineberry, to the Greenbrier Historical Society, with the hope that, under their umbrella, efforts could begin for restoration of this beautiful little endangered relic of the Nineteenth Century. So much history is attached to this property and the surrounding area, and nearly everyone has a story to tell. As a member of the Friends of the Blue Committee, and an avid history buff, I thought it might be appropriate to compile some of those stories and history for those of you who are, either supporting the restoration effort, or simply interested in knowing more about this section of Greenbrier County, West Virginia. My information and resources have been collected over many years; and I have, where possible, quoted the sources relied upon. Thankfully, this resort has been the subject of much discussion over the years. It is also one of the most photographed structures in this area, and articles about The Blue have appeared in newspapers and magazines nationwide. I am so grateful for the Greenbrier Historical Society and its Archives for making available many of the articles and photographs included herein. Our efforts to stabilize the structure have been completed and we anticipate undertaking the full restoration in the coming months. Much work has been accomplished; and much more is anticipated.
