Captain Bluestone: A Bluestone Story (for the Ages)

By Sam Silverthorn

Captain Bluestone is the riveting origin story of the hero of Bluestone Camp and Retreat, a summer camp located near Hinton, West Virginia. Detailing his storied life as a Bluestone camper, a porcelain miner, a pirate, and ultimately, a legendary hero, the story of Captain Bluestone takes the reader halfway around the world-to the distant kingdom of Commodia where porcelain is mined from the earth-and back again. With outrageous and larger-than-life characters like Cora the Corsair, Princess Flush, and the fearsome pirate Captain Bartholomew Gulch, Captain Bluestone draws on the oral storytelling tradition of folk tales and tall tales, as well as Pop culture and the seasoned lore of Bluestone itself. Talking parrots and porcelain cities mix humor with the action and adventure of sword fights and 1,000-foot waterfalls, and the whole enterprise roots itself in the faith that so many campers and staff members have learned at Bluestone over the years. All royalties and proceeds from the sale of this book will go to Friends of Bluestone, Inc. and will be used exclusively to support the ministries of Bluestone Camp and Retreat.
