Back when westerns were among the biggest genres around, we all knew Trigger, Champion,Topper, Thunder and, most particularly, Silver and Scout as well as we knew their masters. Inthis book, Clare Sieffert provides a fascinating look at the backgrounds of those steeds of theLone Ranger and Tonto - backgrounds from the radio show, the TV series, the books, and waysin which their back stories differ depending on what versions you have heard, seen or read. Forsomeone like me who was almost as fascinated by the horses as those who rode them, this is atreasure trove of information. Sieffert probably knows more today about all this than the writersknew when they were doing the stories, given the time span over which they were written. Andnow, readers like me can know it, too.
