At the age of 20, Sonora Webster Carver joined William Frank Carver's Wild West Show which featured diving horses and performed at Atlantic City's Steel Pier. Although Carver was blinded in a diving accident seven years later, she continued to dive afterward.[1] She wrote "A Girl and Five Brave Horses" documenting her life and her memories of diving horses.[1]
Legacy
It inspired the Walt Disney Pictures film Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken.[1]
gollark: Yes, I had that much, it's not that hard to guess.
gollark: I implemented a simple naïve thing which assumed there was one pattern per item to make and that it was generally best to craft as little as possible, which are both completely wrong.
gollark: The problem is that I'm looking to implement it (in CC, though).
gollark: I've recently heard that AE2-style autocrafting (in Minecraft: ask if you don't know about it) is actually very hard. The bit about picking what crafting tasks to do in what order, I mean. Can someone explain a bit more?
gollark: As well as being dubiously faster, it's a good compilation target.
