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." (from Wikipedia).

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Illustrated by Paul Laune (illustrator). This copy signed in heavy black marker to top of the FFE not by author Striker, but by "Clayton Moore / The Lone Ranger." (Interviewed for the role in the first Western series created specifically for television by radio's hugely successful "Lone Ranger" producer George W. Trendle, when Trendle reached his decision and asked "Mr. Moore, would you like the role of the Lone Ranger?" Moore famously replied, "Mr. Trendle, I AM The Lone Ranger." Although Moore's voice was a natural baritone, Trendle insisted he sound more like the radio actor Brace Beemer, so Moore worked with a voice coach to mimic both Beemer's speech pattern and tone. He starred in television's "The Lone Ranger" from 1949-1952 and 1953-1957, the first episode appearing on ABC on September 15, 1949.) This volume copyright 1941 but later.
