The life of Richard J. "Diamond Dick" Tanner (1869-1943) encompassed a noteworthy long-distance horseback ride, circus stardom as a crack shot, a medical career in Norfolk, and finally a reappearance as "the original Diamond Dick," when his claim to the title was challenged. For a complete account, see "The Variegated Life of Norfolk's Diamond Dick," by L. Boyd Finch in the Winter 2003 issue of Nebraska History.
