Overview

One family. One mountain. One house that refused to fall. In 1868, Gideon Hollister stood on a jagged ridge in the Colorado territory and made a vow: he would build a home that no fire, no storm, and no man could ever tear down. He called it Heartstone. Across forty years of grit and transformation, this lengthy saga follows the Hollister family as they carve a legacy directly into the mountain's granite spine. From the first strike of a manual star-drill to the humming glow of the first hydroelectric turbines, Heartstone is a robust chronicle of survival, engineering, and the unrelenting march of progress. As the nineteenth century gives way to the twentieth, Gideon and his son, Jack, must defend their sovereign empire against more than just the elements. Through labour wars, corporate sabotage, and the shifting tides of the industrial age, they prove that the only thing stronger than the mountain is the family that knows how to move it. A masterpiece of historical grit, Heartstone is a testament to the iron will of those who refused to be washed away by the tide of the new.
