Birth Name: Phoebe Ann Mosey

Annie Oakley was an American sharpshooter. Her amazing talent first came to light at 15 years of age when she won a shooting match with traveling-show marksman Frank E. Butler, whom she eventually married. The couple joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show and Oakley became a renowned international star, performing before royalty and heads of state. Throughout her career, she encouraged women to be independent and educated, and it is believed that she taught upwards of 15,000 women how to use a gun. She and her husband often gave to charitable organizations, especially for orphans, and also to their extended family.
