George Watson, owner of many of Alta's silver mines, oversees a town of whiskey-drinking, hardscrabble men, as the mountain's riches are brought to the surface. He becomes fast friends with Kevin O'Neall and his son Francis, who left the Salt Lake Valley to start over after a family tragedy. When the thriving town is hit with a devastating accident, threads of blame run deeper than the veins of silver woven in the bedrock. Sides are taken. What lies in the heart of the miners, who felt wronged, becomes a ruthless quest for revenge with unspeakable consequences, festering for more than fifty years. Will the isolation of the mountains and danger they now face lead to the demise of the O'Neall family? Fire on the Mountain journeys through five generations in spellbinding adventure, adversity, and heartbreak. Historically accurate, real characters mix with fictional counterparts to paint a tale of grit, commitment, and loss not for the faint of heart.
