> Arguably the smartest and most patient villain The Lone Ranger ever came up against
> A man who didn't believe in The Lone Ranger, the father of a boy who knew the real Lone Ranger when he saw him
What Made The Lone Ranger and Tonto Beloved American Heroes?
The 7 essays in this collection make the reasons abundantly clear.
The following topics are covered with great love and respect for the characters and in great detail by one of the foremost experts on the content of The Lone Ranger radio and TV episodes.
> The Lone Ranger's authentic origin story is re-told again in this volume in depth. But was it ever important to WHO the Masked Man was and what he represented? The producers of the three BAD films (1981, 2003, 2013) seemed to think so, but no one else ever did.
> The spotlight is focused on Tonto: his creation and evolution, his relationship with the Masked Man, his heroic nature and the positive influence he had on racial equality.
> Who was the recurring mystery woman who shared in the closest thing the Ranger ever had to a romantic relationship?
> Many fans have fewer questions about our heroes than they do about their trusty steeds. All your questions about their horses are answered here.
> What is The Lone Ranger most known for? Why his mask of course. Why does he wear it? What does it symbolize? And why should you never try to pull it off?
