Program: Annie Oakley 1860-1926

Born Phoebe Anne Moses in Greenville, Ohio, “Annie” as she was known by her family, was an American Sharpshooter.  Her amazing talent first came to light at age 15 when she won a shooting match against a traveling-show marksman by the name of Frank E. Butler, a man whom a year later she would marry.  

The couple joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, where Annie Oakley became a renowned international star, performing before royalty and heads of state.  She was also known as "Watanya Cicilla", a name which was given to her by Chief Sitting Bull, and in his Lakota Sioux language, it meant, "Little Sure Shot".   This presentation is portrayed after her retirement as she looks back on her eventful life.

She often said her philosophy about women and guns:

“I would like to see every woman know how to handle firearms as naturally as they know how to handle babies.”
