Lane's classic good looks and mellow voice quality made him an ideal candidate for leading man roles...he was 40 years old when starring in B-Western films for Republic Pictures in 1944...Allan assumed the role of Red Ryder from Wild Bill Elliott in 1946...after seven action packed sagebrushes by 1947 the Red Ryder series was discontinued and his new series Allan "Rocky" Lane began...during the next seven years and 38 films later Lane ranked #8 (1951) and #5 (1953) by the "Motion Picture Herald and Fan Magazines"...in the "Who's Who in Western Stars Magazine" ranked in the top ten Western stars.

Brings back so many good memories of my years growing up with Rocky Lane at our neighborhood theater..out of print but now appearing on Amazon as a used copy...Don't hesitate pick up your copy today, wonderful and very informative book by Chuck Thornton, David Rothel (one of my favorite authors)...special thanks to Rhonda Lemons and the staff of Empire Publishing for sharing in detail photographs and articles of this great action star who gave us so much pleasure up there on the big screen...Don't miss this one...Great reading in the days and weeks to come...if you enjoyed this book why not read the complete account of "Roy Barcroft:King of the Badmen", which is the title of Bobby J. Copeland's book on the life and times of "Republic Pictures Number One Villain". Barcroft appeared in B-Westerns and Serials - became one of the most recognized actors, when you heard that familiar voice...you were in for it...pick up your copy on Amazon or Empire Publishing.
