A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty “Hi Yo, Silver” -- The Lone Ranger!
This, the second volume in this series, spotlights Tonto his creation and evolution, his relationship with the Masked Man, his heroic nature and the positive influence he had on racial equality. One of the television episodes that are reviewed is about an adventure that affected the Indian personally. And the other is the author's favorite episode, in which Tonto got a real chance to shine, all while being tied in a chair for most of the story.Did you know that The Lone Ranger…
>> was created back in 1933 as a radio drama? Over 3,300 radio episodes were broadcast over more than 21 years.>> radio show once featured a beautiful woman who loved the Masked Man and knew who he was? This young lady was on the show for months but never let the Ranger see her face.
>> had a nephew who rode Silver's son and became the father of Britt Reid, The Green Hornet?
>> Silver wore silver horseshoes?
>> The only time Clayton Moore ever shouted "Hi Yo, Silver" on film was in a Ray Ban sunglasses commercial?
>> As far back as 1938 Tonto has always been portrayed on film by a full blooded Native American - until Johnny Depp of course.
Even if you were lucky enough to watch the Clayton Moore - Jay Silverheels TV series, or even luckier and listened to the Earl Graser or Brace Beemer radio episodes, your memory may have distorted things over time. And it's a cinch that Disney, the producer of the new Lone Ranger movie, doesn't have a clue.
Nowadays, most people's perception of who The Lone Ranger and Tonto were, is formed more from Lone Ranger jokes than from the actual radio and TV programs. Many people are under the wildly incorrect impression that Tonto was a servant or acted subserviently. And they have no idea how charismatic, commanding, intimidating, and sometimes downright scary the original radio Lone Ranger could be. They also don't know that the radio Masked Man did not always act in a 100% politically correct manner.
This series was written by one of the world's foremost experts on the actual content of both the radio and television episodes. In appreciation for her contributions to The Lone Ranger online forum, she was awarded the title of "The Lady Ranger".
In each of the books in this series, you will find two or three television episode reviews and one essay on a general Lone Ranger topic. Each review consists of a detailed synopsis of the episode, quotes of memorable dialogue, and commentary, questions and criticism. Some also include a discussion of a topic that relates to the episode, such as the use of torture by fictional villains and heroes of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.

You will have almost as much fun reading about The Lone Ranger and Tonto as The Lady Ranger had writing about them.
The Lone Ranger 2 The Classic TV Series edition by Clare Sieffert Humor Entertainment eBooks
One of the Very Good Things which the 1980s Lone Ranger cartoon did, was finally and officially admit that Tonto was much more than a "faithful Indian companion." And though William Conrad was a good choice for the Ranger's voice and a decent substitute for announcer, just think of how thrilling it would have been if Fred Foy had always referred to the great Tonto as "his Fearless Indian companion!"Did you feel a little thrill go up your spine just then? You're in great company! And you're just the person who wants to read this book.
It has been argued, and I've done the arguing, that Tonto was much of the brains of the Lone Ranger team - for even the worst version of the legend (I'm looking at you, 1981 movie.) has had to admit that the Lone Ranger was not just one man - it was and is the Ranger AND Tonto, and it's not the Lone Ranger without both of them!
[Updated comment from C. Cox hisself: This, being a review, is riddled with my personal opinions. Since I have not seen Lone Ranger movies made after 1981, they do not exist. La La La La! Can't hear you!]
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Clare Sieffert knows her stuff! She teaches us so much about the dynamics between the two brothers in all but genetics, mostly by reviewing and overviewing two episodes of the TV show.
First, an episode in which Tonto sought justice for a murdered boy - who seemed to be one of the last of Tonto's people. Tonto is shaken to his very core by this incident, and the passion only alluded to in the script is made alive and passionate by the quality of Jay Silverheels' performance.
An aside: Jay Silverheels was one of my favorite actors, a classic case of an actor taking adequate material and lifting it to the level of high drama.
And this is only one aspect of this story. Clare, as well as Mr Silverheels, takes what was, admittedly, middle-of-the-road production and shows us how powerful icons can be. Not only is Tonto very, very shaken by this murder, but the Ranger is showing how he will go to the ends of the universe for his brother. She relates the story, not from the script, but from the gut - relating how we felt (or would feel) when watching the episode. From the comedy relief of Dr Smithers to the inability of bad men to cover their own evil, the story becomes compact and tight under Clare's re-telling. We are not seeing this story through the eyes of a critic. We are experiencing the emotions and inspiration that the icons implanted in a human heart.
Interestingly - and I don't know if she intended to do this - her re-telling shows the thin line between evil men hiding their true selves and a man of justice wearing a mask. The one fails because his intent is to hide his evil deeds. The second succeeds because the man has buried his identity to inspire generations - a hidden face indicates that anyone might be the hero, and should be.
The second story, as delightful to watch as it is to read this re-telling, puts Tonto in the delightful role of Bret Maverick. Mmm, sort of. You may remember "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres" in which Bret Maverick sits in a rocking chair throughout the episode, whittling - all the while masterminding the greatest sting in television history.
Likewise, Tonto is in a chair - tied up by Butch Cavendish (the GREAT Glenn Strange*), as bait for the Ranger. Captive with Tonto is the warden's teenaged son, helpless and terrified. And Tonto slowly, methodically, instills courage in the boy and terror into the heart of Cavendish using words and the legend that he and his brother had built so meticulously over the years. Two lines will prove that confident courage can be frightening to a guilty man.
"(The Lone Ranger will appear) From out of nowhere, I suppose."
"That right. From out of nowhere."
Clare picked precisely the right time to use these quotes, and the Ranger suddenly seems more than human.
She then gives us some data on Tonto's past - both fictional (and contradictory) and "real life." Why he was created, how he evolved from a hapless victim in his first origin story ("little, old") to the "brave Indian Tonto" who saved the Lone Ranger and all but created him. She proves that he was no "sidekick" at the beck and call of the Ranger, but the other half of the team that made up the Lone Ranger. She doesn't completely cover the first Tonto origin, nor does she need to. That's not her Tonto. That's not the real Tonto.
She gets it. Tonto was and is the reason that the Lone Ranger is never truly alone.

The Lone Ranger 2 The Classic TV Series edition by Clare Sieffert Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
This is a great character assessment of the Lone Ranger's partner Tonto. This volume gives an in depth look at Tonto and breaks down his relation ship with the Lone Ranger. The episode reviews are superb. Would highly recommend for any fan of the Lone Ranger series.
Very much enjoyed the author's insight and research. Would have appreciated more footnotes or references to the radio shows she mentioned.
This is the most complete compendium of Lone Ranger lore I've ever seen! Clare is extremely knowledgeable about the whole series, starting with the radio show up through the new movie, and she shares that knowledge in this series of books. She even drew the cover art herself!
Definitely brought back some good memories, took me back too many years to remember, enjoyed reading Clare's version. Can recommend.
Comprehensive information of the Lone Ranger and Tonto. This is a trip down memory lane. The books in this series serve up history, insights about episodes of the Lone Ranger, and details I had not thought about since I was a kid glued to the TV screen. The Masked Man and his faithful native companion live again.
This second volume in Clare Sieffert's series researching The Lone Ranger deals with his
partner, Tonto. It could not be more timely, given the revisionist Johnny Depp movie, but
this book is the only place where you will find the real stuff on the "faithful Indian companion."
Technically, Tonto may have been the sidekick, but Sieffert's research here was a reminder to
me that his creators always viewed him as an equal partner, even the superior one in some ways.
It was fun to learn that such a view of Tonto is not new, after all.
