The manuscript was published in 1961 and was later used as the basis for the Walt Disney fictionalized film Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. Also included among these materials are diaries dating from 1929-1930. There are some magazine articles relating to Sonora Webster Carver and her sister Arnette Webster French, who was also a diving horse rider. In addition to the articles there is an interview with Carver dating from 1994.  A genealogy and photograph album of Sonora Carver and her family are also included among these materials.  Materials are arranged in chronological order.
