The Life and Legacy of Annie Oakley (Oklahoma Western

The Life and Legacy of Annie Oakley (Oklahoma Western Biographies)

With a widowed mother and six siblings, Annie Oakley first became a trapper, hunter, and sharpshooter simply to put food on the table. Yet her genius with the gun eventually led to her stardom in Buffalo Billâ€™s Wild West Show during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The archetypal western woman, Annie Oakley urged women to take up shooting to procure food, protect themselves, and enjoy healthy exercise, yet she was also the proper Victorian lady, demurely dressed and skeptical about the value of womenâ€™s suffrage. Glenda Riley presents the first interpretive biography of the complex woman who was Annie Oakley.
