Just want Annie Oakley?
Hello! My name is Annie Oakley. A long, long time ago, in the year 1860, I was born in a little log cabin. My home was in a big forest, and I loved playing outdoors. To help my family, I learned how to use a rifle when I was just a little girl. It was a very big gun for someone small like me, but I practiced a lot. Soon, I became a very good shot. I could help get food for our dinner all by myself.
One day, I was in a shooting contest. I was competing against a famous shooter named Frank Butler. It was very exciting, and guess what? I won the contest! After that, Frank and I became best friends, and later, he became my husband. In the year 1885, we joined a super fun show called Buffalo Bill's Wild West. I got to travel to many different places. I showed lots of people my amazing tricks, like shooting a tiny playing card from very far away!
People gave me a special name. They called me 'Little Sure Shot' because I almost never missed my target. I wanted to show all the little girls that they could be strong and do anything they put their minds to. I lived to be 66 years old, and my story ended in the year 1926. Today, people remember me as a girl who was brave. I showed the world that with a lot of practice, anyone can be a star.
