The Lone Ranger was the highest-rated television program on ABC in the early 1950s and its first true "hit". The concept of the Lone Ranger dates back to 1949, when the American Western televisions series first aired. Clayton Moore was the original Lone Ranger in the television series, and was known for taking his role to the heart where in characteristics of the Lone Ranger role followed into his personal life. The fictional story line maintains that all of a patrol of six Texas Rangers are massacred, except for one. The "lone" survivor thereafter disguises himself with a black mask and travels with a Native American side-kick, Tonto. They wandered from Texas throughout the American West to assist those challenged by the lawless elements. A silver mine supplied The Lone Ranger with the name of his horse, as well as, the funds and bullets required to finance his nomadic life-style.
