I Was That Masked Man

Summary: THE LONG RANGER REALLY WAS THE LONE RANGER!
Review: This is a delightful autobiography, mainly because what the reader learns quickly is that Clayton Moore was every bit as
straight-laced and trueblue as the Ranger himself. And Jay Silverhills becomes bigger than life, too! This is an unusual book, because it's obvious that Moore is not a writer. He is so intent on telling his story honestly and clearly, that the reader gets wrapped up in the narrative--just as Davy Crockett's autobiography is made more readable by his lack of sophistication in the writer's art. If you want unpretentious popular-culture history told in a direct and naive narrative, this is the book for you. It makes me want the Lone Ranger back on television! Hi Yo Clayton and Jay!
