A beloved watchmaker, a reluctant politician and a legendary Texas Ranger. The legacy of Burnet County rises from a solid prehistoric batholith of pink granite that built the state capitol, established an industry, and is still being quarried. The natural beauty and resources of the region drew the attention of politicians on the path to power, including a U.S. President, whose influence built the dams that electrified rural Central Texas.

Author Suzanne Freeman, whose own roots sink deep into the rocky soil of Burnet County, chronicles the remarkable people, both famous and forgotten, who shaped the county and the Lone Star State.
