Even the expansive sub-title shows that there is no limit to the talents of Doc Carver-"e;Plainsman, Trapper, Buffalo Hunter, Medicine Chief Of The Santee Sioux, World's Champion Marksman, And Originator Of The American Wild West Show."e;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 "e;Buffalo Bill, "e; 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
