The Last Castle is an audiobook by the author of The Girls of Atomic City, exploring the true history of Biltmore, America’s largest privately owned mansion. Orphaned young, Edith Stuyvesant Dresser descended from a prominent New York family and grew up in Newport and Paris before marrying the wealthy, book-loving George Vanderbilt. He had already begun constructing his grand European-style estate on 125,000 acres of North Carolina wilderness, enlisting landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and architect Richard Morris Hunt to create a 175,000-square-foot chateau filled with fine art and antiques. As mistress of this vast property and its surrounding village, Edith faced the challenge of preserving Biltmore through world wars, economic depression, and changing times that threatened her family’s legacy and the community that depended on them.

This CD audiobook spans the Vanderbilt family’s story across multiple generations and historical eras.
