Another stupid question

Hi-Ho-Silver The Lone Ranger Rides Again.
What was the name of Tonto's horse?

Dave

That depends, Tonto's horse was originally named "White Fella" but was changed to "Scout" for the TV series.

And more trivia.

One other tidbit relative to these cards --- see the 'Hi Ho Silver' on the horse card. The generally accepted call by the LR to his trusty steed was 'Hi Yo Silver'. My guess is that the 'Ho' was an error by the person who drafted/printed these.

Tonto was a member of the Potawatomi tribe, as stated in a number of radio shows and comic books. The earliest show that I can recall where "White Feller" (White Fellah) is mentioned as the name of Tonto's horse is the March 2, 1938 program titled The Apache Kid (episode #795).

Tonto received the horse (to be known as Scout) in an August 5, 1938 radio program titled Four-Day Ride (episode #862), and the hoss was a gift to replace his earlier horse, "White Feller" (White Fellah). Scout (not yet given that name) was presented to Tonto by Chief Thundercloud (not the movie Victor Daniels/Chief Thunder Cloud, but simply a character of that name in the radio show). "White Feller" remained with the Chief to recover. In several subsequent shows, Tonto simply referred to his new horse as "paint horse".

As long as you are on a roll Dave and the rest of you also, what was the name of the horse that Tim Mix had????

"Bill Gruby"

 

[DaveH]

Huh - Never heard of Tim Mix.

But I'll guess "One leg"

Dave

 

[rake60]

Try Tom Mix.

He was from DuBois PA, just a few miles north of my home town.

Rick

 

[DaveH]

No never heard of Tom Mix either, was he before Elvis?

My earlyist memories is Davy Crockett played by the Duke - or was it the Duke played by Davy Crockett. And Doris Day in Calamity Jane.

And the music at the end of the Alamo not really sure of the title but something like "The Green leaves of Summer"

I know, from the photo could only be Invisible, am I right.

Dave

 

[DaveH]

Danged big fingers. ;D I is too close to O. Tom Mix was way before Elvis. ;D Rick -- not too many people remember Tony. :bow: It is easier for them to remember Pat Brady and "Nellie Belle" the Jeep. Or even "Diablo" and the Cisco Kid.

"Bill Gruby"

 

[DaveH]

Yes the Cisco Kid remember him didn't he wear a black top that had a strange aray of buttons.
Must be around 1956 in the UK.
