Estimate $100 - 150. Will F. Carver, left his home in Illinois in 1857 at the age of 17. His grandfather, Jonathan Carver, had been given a land grant in Minnesota by the Sioux. Carver went to claim the land and live on it. In route, he killed 3 men
who were about to rob him. He discovered that the government denied the grant, but the Sioux took him in. He lived three years with the Indians, becoming a medicine man for the Santee Sioux.He left in 1860 prior to the Minnesota Massacre. He was
given the name "Spirit Gun," by the Sioux because he could hit targets with his rifle in the dark by sound. He met "Wild Bill" Hickok in Springfield 3 days after Hickok had his famous shootout with Dave Tutt. They partnered up and traveled earning
money in shooting contests, Doc with a rifle, and Hickok with pistols. He started the Wild West Show with Buffalo Bill. They later split and Carver ran his own show. Carver claims Cody as a fake. He said Cody didn't do all that he claimed to have
done, mostly made up from others and Ned Buntline. Carver was champion of the world, as a shooter, touring the U.S. and the world. He was especially good with a rifle. Shooting from the hip was his specialty. As no one would challenge him with
rifles, he shot with shotguns, often giving odds. He died in 1927 and is remembered as the Originator of the American Wild West Show. (Image1)
