The Ferguson Rifle: Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures

A Novel

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Brian D'Arcy James, Jason Culp, Dan John Miller

It began with gold that had once belonged to Montezuma. Stolen and cached in a church in Mexico, it was recovered by two army officers who fled north for the French settlements. Along the way one stabbed the other to death. The remaining officer was eventually killed by Plains Indians, but he buried the treasure just before he died.

Now Ronan Chantry, a handful of trappers, and an Irish girl whose father was killed after telling her a few vague landmarks are searching for the lost treasure. But they are not alone. The girl’s uncle, Rafen Falvey, wants it, too. Like Chantry, he is well educated, bold, and determined. Under different circumstances the two men might have been friends. But in all likelihood it wouldn’t have made any difference. When it comes to gold, even friendship doesn’t keep men from killing each other.

Classic L'Amour

Where does The Ferguson Rifle rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I believe this book would rank in the top 25 of the audiobooks I have listened to. It is classic L'amour with a few twists.

What about Brian D'Arcy James’s performance did you like?

D'arcy did a very commendable job at making the characters come to life. He did a good job with the entire presentation.

Any additional comments?

Being a fan of L'Amour, and having listened most of his books, I am a little prejudiced. This is another good book of his. The common trait in all of his books is that his hero, is uncommonly good at fighting, and are rugged with a sense of right and wrong. He carries the hero here to such an extraordinary height experiences, knowledge, and famous acquaintances, you wonder how any man could have attained all of that at such a young age. But the story is still good.

He’s still the Best

I’ve read many western novels over my lifetime. Some tried to use gimmicks like sex or excessive violence to catch and hold the reader’s attention, but no one can beat the pure ability to tell an engaging story like L’Amour. Sure there is the occasional inconsistency in the tale but if you overlook that minor problem he will always keep you on the edge of your seat. All of his stories are highly entertaining and recommended

Loyalty, Friendship, and Perseverance!

well written, and read story with an appeal to those with apprecion of these qualities in a man.

Great story

Great story with an excellent reader. The voices of the characters were distinct and not mixed. Very enjoyable.

Not My Favorite

This was not my favorite Lamore book but good none the less.. I did learn about the Ferguson Rifle which I had never heard of prior to this book.

Great story 😁

I've read most of Louis L'amour's novels. Not a bad one among the lot. I did some training as a gunsmith and his guns are real.
