This novel follows the triumphs and tragedies of one member of a Welsh settler family in Patagonia, from the sea crossing in the 'Mimosa' to the floods which ravaged their farms and homes and the exploration of the Andes region, documenting the pioneers' struggle to maintain their language and cultural identity. The central character learns tracking and hunting skills from the Tehuelche people and witnesses their persecution, meets the great explorer Perito Francisco Moreno and also Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He gets 'gold fever' and takes part with the Rifle Regiment in the exploration of the Andes region around Trevelin, but he also competes in the local Eisteddfod. But this is not just a novel of action and adventure; it has a psychological dimension too, mainly centring on his relationship with his family and the tightly-knit community of which he is a part. This provides a strong and coherent framework which successfully binds together the varied elements of the story. Through 'The Patagonian Rifleman', Carlos Dante Ferrari expresses his affection for his community, basing himself both on discussions with the older, mainly Welsh-speaking, members and on the historical sources, to which he remains true. He brings to life in an unsentimental way the unforgiving nature of the terrain and the utter poverty which the pioneers were forced to overcome in order to survive.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Fictional and real characters mingled in this attractive book in perfect assemblage. Although this novel is not strictly histori By Bod Amlwg "This appealing novel tells a story within the history of the Welsh colonization of Patagonia Argentina.During the second half of the XIX century, a group of brave people left their homeland in Wales to look for a new world where to speak their own language and practice their Faith without impediment.The story -and the life- of Randall Thomas initiates on board of the clipper "Mimosa", during the very first trip to Patagonia. The arrival to the coast of Chubut -now Porth Madryn- is the beginning of a number of hazardous adventures. The newcomers were more courageous than resourceful, but they survived by the rare virtue of getting along with natives.The author, a direct descendant of one of the Welsh colonists, depicts with creative talent the difficult circumstances of life in the desert scrub, and the slow emergence of the new colony. Fictional and real characters mingled in this attractive book in perfect assemblage. Although this novel is not strictly historical, all details concerning past events are accurate.This book, originally written in Spanish, is recommended to those who love historical chronicles, love stories or adventure novels."Bod Amlwg
