Under Buffalo Bill\u2019s tutelage, she performed in his\u00a0<em>Wild West\u00a0<\/em>show, becoming one of the first American female stars.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Hollywood films to Broadway musicals, actresses like Jamie Lee Curtis, Barbara Stanwyck, and Reba McEntire have immortalized Her. Let\u2019s take a look at the life of Annie Oakley in photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-her-early-life\">Her Early Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annie Oakley was born Phoebe Ann Mosey on August 13, 1860, in Darke County, Ohio. She was the sixth of nine children, born to Quakers who immigrated from England to Pennsylvania and then to Ohio.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/b80ebf140218394f2d593608bb575e66.jpg\" alt=\"The first known photo of Annie Oakley taken in 1880.\" class=\"wp-image-2614\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The first known photo of Annie Oakley taken in 1880.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her father, Jacob Mosey, was a veteran of The War of 1812, who was quite a bit older than her mother. He developed a disability from hypothermia during a blizzard in 1865 and died of pneumonia less than a year later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/wild-west-poster-678x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A promotional poster for Annie Oakley\" class=\"wp-image-2608\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A promotional poster for Annie Oakley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacob Mosey\u2019s death drove the family deep into poverty. To support the family, she took up trapping and hunting, which lay the foundation that made her a star later in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time she was 15, she had paid off the mortgage on her mother\u2019s farm by selling hunted game to shops and restaurants in Northern Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, her early life was tough. At one point, her mother had to give her up to the Darke County Infirmary. At age ten, a local family offered her work, raising their son for fifty cents per week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They never followed through and held her in virtual slavery for two years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-start-of-her-career\">The Start of Her Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annie Oakley\u2019s hunting and shooting prowess made her a minor local celebrity in the area. In 1875 or 1881 (the accounts vary), the Baughman &amp; Butler performed their shooting act in Cincinnati. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They made a $100 bet with a local hotel owner that Butler, the act\u2019s dog trainer, could outshoot any local during their stay. He put forth Annie Oakley and set up a shooting match between her and Butler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/annie_and_frank.jpg\" alt=\"Annie Oakley and her husband, Butler\" class=\"wp-image-2607\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Annie Oakley and her husband, Butler<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They had to shoot birds out of the sky before they hit a certain point in the match. The first one to miss would lose. On the 25th shot, Butler missed the bird. Butler was smitten with Oakley and began courting her. They were married a year later,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cincinnati.com\/story\/news\/history\/2014\/07\/20\/did-annie-oakley-shooting-contest-happen-in-cincinnati\/12913819\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"\">\u00a0in either 1876 or 1881<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a period, they stayed in Cincinnati, where Oakley took on her stage name. Oakley was either a part of the city where they lived or the name of a man who paid her train fare when she was a little girl.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-joining-buffalo-bill-s-wild-west\">Joining Buffalo Bill\u2019s Wild West<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0In 1885, Butler and Oakley joined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historydefined.net\/amazing-photos-from-old-wild-west-you-might-be-surprised-exist\/\" title=\"Amazing Photos From The Old Wild West You Might Be Surprised Exist\">Buffalo Bill\u2019s Wild West. <\/a>The show advertised her as \u201cLittle Sure Shot,\u201d a translation of the name \u201cWatanya Cicilla\u201d that Chief Sitting Bull gave her.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/annie_oakley_with_shotgun-690x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Cards like this were handed out to promote the traveling show.

This one features Annie Oakley in her full costume.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oakley was well known for her impressive and dangerous trick shots. She could shoot cards and coins out of the air and cigarettes out of Baughman\u2019s mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a mirror, she could shoot over her shoulder with amazing accuracy. She could even snuff out the flame of a candle with her gun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, she became America\u2019s first female superstar, earning more money than every performer except \u201cBuffalo Bill\u201d Cody.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinehurst_feb_11.jpg\" alt=\"Putting on a show for 200 in 1917\" class=\"wp-image-2611\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Putting on a show for 200 in 1917<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She toured Europe performing for heads of state like the Queen of England, France\u2019s president, and the King of Italy. The story is that she even shot a cigarette out of Kaiser Wilhelm II\u2019s hand. A foot to the right,\u00a0WWI\u00a0might not have ever happened.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/portrait-of-annie-746x1024.jpg\" alt=\"This 1889 portrait was taken before the Paris Exposition\" class=\"wp-image-2606\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This 1889 portrait was taken before the Paris Exposition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-annie-oakley-s-later-life\">Annie Oakley\u2019s Later Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even later in life, Oakley continued to set records well into her 60s. In 1922, she shot one hundred clay targets in a row during a North Carolina shooting contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This showing was the start of a comeback tour, and she intended to follow up with it by staring in a silent movie.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/adb82010a247c0b3deefe03084e4e78e.jpg\" alt=\"Annie Oakley posing during a shooting training.  \" class=\"wp-image-2610\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Annie Oakley posing during a shooting training.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1922, she was in a car accident that put her in a steel brace. Even with the injury, she continued to set records a few years later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 1925, her health was on the decline. She died that year of pernicious anemia, a disease where the body doesn\u2019t produce enough red blood cells because of a vitamin B12 deficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/771fa2a21a509a84e75b18365db05961.jpg\" alt=\"Oakley hunting later in life in North Carolina\" class=\"wp-image-2612\" width=\"807\" height=\"512\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oakley hunting later in life in North Carolina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bulter was so affected by her death that he quit eating.
