THE LONE RANGER Week 10


"The Lone Ranger! "Hi Yo Silver!" A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty "Hi Yo Silver!" The Lone Ranger. "Hi Yo Silver, away!" With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains, led the fight for law and order in the early west. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, and Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. The Lone Ranger rides again! This is a picture of me chad michael murrey's version of the Lone Ranger. Sometimes in the scouts and most day out in the real world, I like to think of myself as the great western hero. As I do community service and stuff with the scouts, I think of myself doing what the lone does, my town a decient place to live, where people can settle down and live in a nice community with no worries. I've seen alot of episodes with of the lone ranger from the classics, the movies and even Chad Michael Murrey's version. The Lone Ranger is also another inspiration of mine like indiana jones, but besides adventures, The lone ranger shows provides a way of showing the law, shows what's right from wrong, and how to do good things for people. This was taken on my property on April 2, 2011. The way I took it, I had set it up on my tripod with the timer of 10 seconds and the photo came out good. The lighting came out from half the sun and the flash on my camera. The camera was set on manuel, with an aperture of f5, and a shutter speed of 320. This is how i usually like to express myself, but only in my dreams and fantasties.


History lession: The Lone Ranger was legend in the oldis the last survivor of a group of six Texas Rangers. He wears a mask to conceal his identity as he travels the West fighting for law and order.The lone ranger was the last survivor of a group of six Texas Rangers during an ambush. He wears a mask to conceal his identity as he travels the West fighting for law and order. The lone ranger was part of a group of Six Texas Rangers,including brothers Dan and John Reid, they were tracking a gang of desperadoes led by the notorious Butch Cavendish. Led by a tracker named Collins, who was actually a member of the Cavendish gang, the Rangers were lured into a canyon called Bryant's Gap, and ambushed. Except for young John Reid(the lone ranger),who managed to crawl to safety near a water hole where he was later found and nursed back to health by a friendly Indian named Tonto. Tonto remembered Reid, who had once saved Tonto himself. "You Kemosabe," said Tonto; "it mean 'trusty scout.'" As, Reid was recovering, he had thought about setting up a new way of law and order, by capturing cavendish, and any other criminal and make then regret the day the other rangers were killed, Six graves were left to hide the fact that one man lived to fight. Realizing that if his identity were known, he would be a marked man, Reid had Tonto make a mask from the vest of his dead bother, along with a gun. The lone ranger would shoot if he had to but it would be shoot to wound. Only tonto knew the lone ranger lived, but to the world he would be buried beside his brother and friends forever. Tonto now vowed to stay with him as the "lone" Ranger vowed to avenge the deaths of his brother and their comrades. they were all slaughtered. The Lone Ranger needed a mount. Remembering a magnificent wild white stallion he had once seen, the Lone Ranger and Tonto set off for the Valley of Horses. They found the stallion wounded and about to be gored to death by a wild buffalo and the Lone Ranger was forced to kill the buffalo. Tonto and the Lone Ranger nurse the horse back to health. Time goes by and the horse is up and running around. "It's a magnificent animal,” the Ranger tells Tonto. "It reflects like silver from the sun" Tonto says. "Silver" says the Ranger, "that's what we'll call him. Silver. Here Silver, come here big fellow." The horse starts to run away but there's something in the Lone Ranger's voice that draws him back and to the ranger’s side. The Lone Ranger then begins the training process and soon, he's riding Silver while Tonto rides his horse, Scout.

There's another symbol of the lone ranger, His silver bullets: After getting silver, the Ranger tells Tonto it's time to see an old friend of his named Jim, a retired Texas Ranger, who knows about a silver mine that the Reid brothers owned and operated. The Lone Ranger, Tonto and Jim ride to the old silver mine. There the Lone Ranger asks Jim to work the mine for him so he and Tonto will have spending money and then asks Jim for something unusual. "Jim, I want you to make for me silver bullets" the Ranger says. "Silver?" Jim asks. "Why in the world would you want silver bullets?" The Ranger explains that the silver bullets will be a symbol of justice and they would show the lone rangers mark and that he fights for law and order. "Say, that's a great idea" Jim says. "I can make them right here in this mine." Together the Lone Ranger and Tonto set out to avenge wrongs throughout the Old West.
