About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I didn't enjoy this book as much as "Where the Long Grass Blows" which I read earlier this year. I found it very slow in places, parts of the plot were unbelievable and there was a lot of repetition and aimless wandering. "The Ferguson Rifle" lacked the excitement of other books by this author (except for the fist fight at the end) and Chantry, being a well-educated, city man, lacked the masculine toughness that is usually found in L'Amour's male protagonists.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Having never read a western before, I was very pleased with this book. Not only did it have a nice story line, but I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of history and physical geography which were included in this book. Chantry Ronan, who was a well educated teacher out east, loses his wife and son in a fire, and decides to go west to seek out a new life for himself. This book describes the adventures that he encounters on his travels west.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another great book by famed Author Louis Lamour. Enjoy!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Early western story around a Chantry. Somewhat different than his more numerous dime novels, it is a good story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ronan Chantry heads west to escape painful memories, and finds himself roped into a treasure hunt...all in the name of chivalry. A little slow at the beginning, but then the pace picks up and you get immersed into a ripping good yarn.
