Hd cansopyrhg985 landondions [dramatic music] male narrator when the factories first began to send their pall of smoke over the cities and farmlands in the east offered only the barest living, americans turned their faces toward the west. They poured into the New Territories by thousands, bringing their household goods, fording the mighty rivers and climbing the mountains, fighting indians and outlaws, praying, toiling, dying. It was a hard land, a hostile land. Only the strong survived a new american breed, the pioneer. In this forge, upon this anvil, was hammered out a man who became a legend, a man who hated thievery and oppression. His face masked, his true name unknown, he thundered across the west upon a silverwhite stallion, appearing out of nowhere to strike down injustice or outlawry and then vanishing as mysteriously as he came. His sign was a silver bullet. His name was. The lone ranger. [rousing orchestral theme] [gunfire] [dramatic music] [gunfire] [gunfire] tonto. Boundary markers.

Wouldnt want to insult a couple of fellas that just saved my life. Well, i told you, im not a bandit. But if youd like to be grateful, you wont talk about seeing us. Wed appreciate that. Easiest thing i do is keep my mouth shut. Good. Well use my horse. Give me a hand with the saddle. Excuse me, mister. You better take cover for the next couple of days. We got a sheriff in brasada who means it. Why only for the next few days . Well, some real high mucketymucks coming out this way. Might make sheriff kimberley sort of edgy. How high . Governor of this territory, thats how high. Coming to visit the kilgore ranch. And thats a special place for you to keep clear of. You wouldnt like the climate. Thanks. [exciting music] hey hey [gunfire] mighty nice to see you, governor. Im reece kilgore. Delighted, mr. Kilgore. I hope you had no trouble on the road. Were we really in danger from indians, mr.
