Listen now
Description
Annie Oakley was a 5 foot tall American sharpshooter who overcame a very hard childhood to become an international celebrity traveling with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. She developed her skills early as a child hunting and trapping with her father until he died and she was indentured to a cruel family in Ohio which she later referred to as human wolves. In her lifetime she set more shooting records than any female shooter since, and provided inspiration for millions of women to assert themselves and reach for their goals. This is her story.     NEW Enjoy 1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories and The Best of Arthur Conan Doyle https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-sherlock-holmes-stories-best-sir-arthur-conan/id1534427618 Get all of our shows at one website: https://.1001storiespodcast.com REVIEWS NEEDED .
