Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ... The Life Of Dr. Carver. With the universal interest that the unparalleled marksmanship of Dr. Carver has suddenly awakened, naturally comes the question, "Who is this wonderful man, who rides like a Centaur, shoots as unerringly as Death, and combines the modest courtesy of a true gentleman with a more than savage genius for the chase, and cool, courageous skill in the use of its weapons of destruction?" It is our purpose to answer this question with a brief account of the strange, eventful career that has developed the best shot in the world, without.an equal even among the savage tribes who taught his hand its cunning, and helped to train the steady nerve and grand physical force that are his birthright. His exploits are worthy of Cooper's famous heroes, and their narration should have additional interest from the fact that in no instance has it received the aid or coloring of romance or imagination, but is a simple statement of actual incidents in a wild and varied life. "Men have met, where sunlight glances All our border land along, Like the knights of old romances, Ventures bold and strange mischances Worthy of a poet's song," that are seldom known beyond their border-world, unless some special and striking gift like Doctor Carver's brings them unwillingly before the public. But few if any can, compare in wild adventure and absolute fearlessness with the subject of this sketch. His life seems to have had no parallel outside of the world of fiction, as his marksmanshiphas no parallel anywhere. HIS EARLY LIFE. "I remember my mother," said Dr. Carver, "as a. gentle, soft-voiced woman, with great braids of Shining auburn hair." Little did that gentle woman dream as she looked into the deep, wondering eyes of her first-born, that they...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1957, this is the complete, fascinated biography of "Doc" William Frank Carver, a legend of the American West. Even the expansive sub-title shows that there is no limit to the talents of Doc Carver—“Plainsman, Trapper, Buffalo Hunter, Medicine Chief Of The Santee Sioux, World's Champion Marksman, And Originator Of The American Wild West Show.” Doc’s life began in the era of American pioneering to the West. As a youth he lived with the Santee Sioux, from the plains of Illinois and the forests of Minnesota he graduated to the beautiful prairies of Nebraska where he became supreme as a horseback-riding buffalo hunter, and came to count among his close friends the mountain men and plainsmen of whom James B. Hickok, John Y. Nelson, Texas Jack, and the boastful “Buffalo Bill,” were but a few. To California, at thirty-five years of age, was Carver’s next move. Here he discovered in his reading of sporting magazines that men were making fortunes by shooting—men who were not good shots! His innate confidence assured him that he was the best shot in the world, and he began the work of proving to the world that he was not only the best marksman, but that he was to become one of the world’s outstanding showmen.
