Silver bullets, the William Tell Overture, and the phrase Kimusabe all were thrust into the cultural mainstream at the height of the Great Depression in 1931 with The Lone Ranger. Here to tell the story of The Lone Ranger is Stephen Iwano, author of the book Yesteryear, which is about the creators of The Lone Ranger.
