Encyclopedic overview
Annie Oakley (born Phoebe Ann Mosey; August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926) was an American exhibition/trick shooter and folk heroine who starred in Buffalo Bill's Wild West.
Oakley developed hunting skills as a child in order to provide for her impoverished family in western Ohio. At age 15, she won a shooting contest against an experienced marksman, Frank E. Butler, whom she married in 1876. The pair joined Buffalo Bill in 1885, performing in Europe before royalty and other heads of state. Audiences were astounded to see her shooting out a cigar from her husband's hand or splitting a playing-card edge-on at 30 paces. She earned more than anyone else in the troupe except Buffalo Bill himself.
