2011 Reprint edition of 1961. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Sonora Carver used to be an American entertainer, most notable as probably the most first female horse divers. Carver answered an ad placed by “Doc” William Frank Carver in 1923 for a diving girl and soon earned a spot in circus history. Her job used to be to mount a running horse as it reached the top of a forty-foot (now and again sixty-foot) tower and sail down along the animal’s back as it plunged into a deep pool of water in an instant below. Sonora used to be a sensation and soon become the lead diving girl for Doc Carver’s act as they traveled the country. In 1931, Sonora used to be blinded, a retinal detachment, as a result of hitting the water off-balance together with her eyes open.whilst diving her horse, Red Lips, on New Jersey’s Steel Pier, the act’s permanent home since 1929. After her twist of fate Sonora continued to dive horses until 1942.
