The fictional masked rider of the plains who with his “faithful Indian companion Tonto” and his “great horse Silver” was a champion of justice to a generation of devoted fol- lowers on radio, in the movies, and on TV. This enduring sym- bol of the imaginary West was born in 1933 on Detroit radio station WXYZ.
