The Lone Ranger
More Information
The Lone Ranger is a fictional masked former Texas Ranger who fought outlaws in the American Old West with his Native
American friend, Tonto. The character has been called an enduring icon of American culture. He first appeared in 1933 in a radio show conceived either
by WXYZ (Detroit) radio station owner George W. Trendle, or by Fran Striker, the show's writer. The radio series proved to be a hit and spawned a series
of books (largely written by Striker), an equally popular television show that ran from 1949 to 1957, comic books, and several movies. The title character
was played on the radio show by George Seaton, Earle Graser, and Brace Beemer. Clayton Moore portrayed the Lone Ranger on television, although during a
contract dispute, Moore was replaced temporarily by John Hart, who wore a different style of mask. On the radio, Tonto was played by, among others, John
Todd and Roland Parker; and in the television series, by Jay Silverheels, who was a Mohawk from the Six Nations Indian Reserve in Ontario, Canada.
