The Lone Ranger is a masked former Texas Ranger, named John Reid, who fought outlaws in the American Old West with his Native American friend Tonto. Clayton Moore was the most popular Lone Ranger, along with Jay Silverheels as Tonto. The Lone Ranger is the sole survivor of a group of six ambushed Texas Ranger pursuing a band of outlaws led by Bartholomew "Butch" Cavendish. They are betrayed by a civilian guide named Collins, who was secretly working with Cavendish, and led the unsuspecting rangers into an ambush. A Native American named Tonto stumbles onto the grisly scene and recognizes the lone survivor as the man who had saved his life when they both were children. Tonto gives him a ring with the name Kemo Sabe, which means "trusty scout". They intend to hunt down Cavendish and his men and to bring them to justice. To conceal his identity, John fashions a black mask using cloth from his late brother's vest. To aid in the deception, Tonto digs a sixth grave and places at its head a cross bearing John Reid's name so that Cavendish and his gang will believe that all the Rangers had been killed. This book, "Mask Of the Lone Ranger", will thrill readers of all ages in a classic tale of the old west with a haughty Hi Yo Silver!
