I read lots of titles in this series, not that I can remember any details. They did introduce me to the trope of the faithful, but subservient, Indian companion, which was not a good thing.
I'm not going to seek any more of this series out, but I enjoyed the story much more than I thought I would. The writing is rather poetic.
Quintessential western with great descriptions of nature and a strong, taciturn hero who rides into town and solves all the problems. The Lone Ranger and Tonto ride into Beacon City where they find Ace Cardigan, a saloon owner and businessman is running the town through bullying and extortion. The Lone Ranger comes up with a plan to expose him and his henchmen and bring them to justice. Keep in mind this was written a long time ago, and political correctness was non-existent.
This one was papa’s it’s likely 68 years old
