That Right, Kemo Sabe Trivia Quiz

Answer: 5

Although "The Lone Ranger" was broadcast from 1949-57, only five seasons contained new episodes. For three years, reruns were aired.

Answer: Potawatomi

It is alleged that producer George Trendle decided to present Tonto as a Potawatomi since Trendle was originally from Michigan where this tribe is indigenous. If so, what Tonto was doing in Texas was never explained.

Answer: Glenn Strange

George Glenn Strange was a strapping 6'5" tall and worked as a real-life cowboy, a deputy sheriff and a rodeo performer before deciding on an acting career. He was of Irish and Cherokee heritage. Beside performing in many westerns, he portrayed the Frankenstein monster in two movies in the mid-forties. He died in 1973 at age 74.

Answer: Wild

It is often misunderstood that "Tonto" means idiot or fool. This is true translated in Spanish, but in Potawatomi language, it means "Wild Man."

Answer: a silver mine

He was co-owner with his brother, Dan Reid, of a silver mine whose location was kept secret. When his brother was killed in the ambush, the Lone Ranger became the sole owner. For a percentage of profit, he hired a retired Texas Ranger to work the mine, refine the ore and make bullets.

The Lone Ranger never accepted rewards; first of all on general principles and also because he had enough income from the silver mine that he didn't need to.

Answer: Captain

Not much is revealed about Captain Reid other than he is the brother of the only Ranger that survives an ambush. Played by actor Chuck Courtney, he is the Ranger that believes Cavendish's henchman, Collins, who says Cavendish cheated him and he wants revenge. Reid leads the six Rangers who follow Collins into the ambuscade in a blind canyon. Dan and four other Rangers are killed. Captain Reid left behind his wife Linda and a baby boy.

Answer: none

The Lone Ranger made it a creed not to shoot unless absolutely necessary and then only to wound and not kill. True to his word, he never mortally wounded a criminal. He pursued, captured and turned them over to a representative of law enforcement, preferring that the legal system deal with them.

Answer: his brother's vest

According to Clayton Moore, the actual masks used in the series were made from plaster molds with felt applied on the outside of them. Purple felt was actually used in the days of black and white television.

Answer: Colby

After rescuing the kidnapped Sheriff Taylor and Doc Drummond, the Lone Ranger learns from them that Cavendish has been disposing of the most important men in the town of Colby (I guess you have to start somewhere) and substituting his gang members in their places.

The Lone Ranger, Tonto, and Taylor gradually round up the rest of the Cavendish gang. When Cavendish sees there is no hope left for him, he flees. The Lone Ranger pursues the escaping Cavendish and has one final showdown with his brother's killer. And true to his vow, he doesn't kill Cavendish, he shoots the gun from his hand and turns him over to the sheriff for trial.

Answer: the mask

Born in the Chicago area in 1914, Moore started out as a circus acrobat and aerialist. After that he moved to New York and worked as a male model. In 1938 he migrated to Hollywood where he found work as a stuntman and bit player. A variety of reasons are given as to why Moore opted out of the 1953 filming season of "The Lone Ranger" and actor John Hart assumed the role.

A salary dispute is the reason most given, but Moore returned in 1954 to again bring TV outlaws to justice. Well after the Lone Ranger ended on TV, Moore continued to make public appearances in character. Legally forbidden to wear the iconic black mask, he donned an pair of wrap-around sunglasses during these performances. Moore passed away in 1999 at age 85.
