Stoneheart is a romance novel by Gustave Aimard. Aimard was a French author known mostly for his books about Latin America and the American frontier. Excerpt: "A man in this position, and gifted with all the mental and physical advantages enjoyed by Don Torribio, had a right to very high pretensions; for, a certain amount of fortune once reached, obstacles no longer exist, or, at least, are only an excitement instead of an impediment."
