Missie: The Life and Times of Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley was world-famous when traveling with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, but audiences only saw the attractive, athletic sharpshooter who performed astonishing feats of marksmanship. Annie's own niece wrote this biography, showing how a difficult childhood motivated Annie to work hard and use her skills to entertain thousands of people while helping those she could (particularly orphans). She had strong connections to her family and hometown, but never felt able to settle down after living so many years on the road. This is a very personal account of a remarkable woman who amazed crowds wherever she went.
