The Greenbrier Heritage: White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia

This book begins with the early history of The Greenbrier and the surrounding area, showing its humble beginnings.

Many famous visitors stayed at The Greenbrier over its rich history, including United States Presidents Millard Fillmore, Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan, Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, Franklin Pierce, and James K. Polk.

I enjoyed the many pictures and photos of paintings in the book that depicted scenes at The Greenbrier and its many visitors.

I purchased this book to discover the history for The Greenbrier, the beautiful resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. I was researching the background for my book, A Spring at The Greenbrier, Book 7 in Romance at the Gilded Age Resorts Series. Not only does my heroine work there in the new Bath Wing but also her younger sister needs to bathe in the spring waters to possibly help her.

Recommended for readers of American history and those interested in learning about The Greenbrier.
