2009 Reprint edition of 1961. Sonora Carver was an American
entertainer, most notable as one of the first female horse divers.
Carver answered an ad placed by "Doc" William Frank Carver in 1923
for a diving girl and soon earned a place in circus history. Her
job was to mount a running horse as it reached the top of a
forty-foot (sometimes sixty-foot) tower and sail down along the
animal's back as it plunged into a deep pool of water directly
below. Sonora was a sensation and soon became the lead diving girl
for Doc Carver's act as they traveled the country. In 1931, Sonora
was blinded, a retinal detachment, due to hitting the water
off-balance with her eyes open.while diving her horse, Red Lips, on
New Jersey's Steel Pier, the act's permanent home since 1929. After
her accident Sonora continued to dive horses until 1942.
