The Lone Ranger on Radio, Film and Television

Created by script writer Fran Striker and radio station owner George W. Trendle, the Lone Ranger was meant to embody courage, fair play and honesty, and writers had to adhere to specific guidelines: ""he never smokes... he uses precise speech... he never shoots to kill."" This book examines the franchise in detail, with summaries and production details of the original radio episodes.
