Carleton Bass
Ernest Carleton Bass, best-known as Carleton Bass, born 1876 in Ireland, was a notorious bullfighter who billed himself in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as the "first North American bullfighter."〔Sherwood, Lyn. ''Yankees in the Afternoon: An Illustrated History of American Bullfighters''. McFarland: 2001. p. 22.〕 In reality, he was an Irish immigrant who never became an American citizen, and his anemic bullfighting skill led to him being booed from bullfighting rings in Mexico.〔Hail, Marshall. ''(Knight in the Sun: First Yankee Matador )''. Boston, Little Brown: 1962. pp. 5-6.〕 Though he had learned some swordfighting and bullfighting skills in Spain before his arrival in the United States, he was a poor fighter. In 1903, he suffered an attack of nerves before a fight in Mexico and failed to fight.〔 In 1904, he was a key figure in the St. Louis bullfight riot, which led to the destruction of a 14,000-seat arena by fire. Three days after the riot, he shot and killed fellow matador Don Manuel Cervera after the other man attacked Bass with a knife over a dispute regarding the bullfight canceled by the riot.〔("Bullfighter Murdered," ) ''The New York Times''. June 9, 1904. Retrieved Sept. 13, 2014.〕 A subsequent coroner's inquest found Bass acted in self-defense and should not be charged with murder.〔("Releases Cervera's Slayer," ) ''The New York Times''. June 12, 1904. Retrieved Sept. 13, 2014.〕 Following his acquittal, Bass went on to star in several bloodless bullfights.〔〔("Woman prevents bullfight," ) The New York Times. June 27, 1904. Retrieved Sept. 13, 2014.〕 These involved enraging the bull, causing it to charge and miss, but not spearing it or cutting it with a sword.
