Talk:Sonora Webster Carver

The Carver show's horse diving act predates her by at least 15 years
The Jun/9/1908 Albuquerque Citizen (pg 4) has an ad for W.F. Carver's show. The ad includes a picture of a woman on a diving horse, with the caption "The Girl in Red". There is some text below the caption ballyhooing this act.

This article (the Sonora Webster Carver article) could be improved by mentioning the earlier act and linking to information about the history of the act. If I had a link to that I would provide it. But as yet I have not found info about the girl in red.

While, as the article currently states, Sonora Webster Carver may have been one of the first female horse divers, some other woman was performing the same act 15 years earlier.
