Description:
This short clip from Edison's Black Maria studio explores the life of Annie Oakley, a famous female marksman who became a global sensation. Born in rural Ohio as Phoebe Ann Oakley Mozee, she rose to prominence as an icon of the Wild West, despite her small size. Known as "Little Sure Shot," she was a key performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and similar acts. In this clip, Annie is with her husband, Frank E. Butler, also a skilled shooter. Their relationship began when Annie beat Butler in a shooting contest in the 1880s; instead of being offended, he fell in love with her, and they married. Butler then managed Annie's career, helping her achieve even greater fame with her remarkable shooting skills. The clip offers a look at their unusual partnership, which helped shape the legend of one of the Wild West's most celebrated figures.
