The Lone Ranger rode Silver, but what was the name of Tonto's horse?

• Scout, apparently.

• Further on the name of Tonto's horse. He was named Scout in the TV series, but was apparently called White Feller in the early Lone Ranger novels. Originally, Tonto rode double with the Lone Ranger on Silver. After a publicity photo was taken of the Lone Ranger and Tonto this way, WXYZ wisely decided to give Tonto his own steed. Scout was originally supposed to be solid white like Silver, but when they made the movie serials they realized that it would make Silver less impressive that way, so Scout was changed.
