Annie Oakley by Jan Gleiter and Kathleen Thompson tells the true life story of the legend Annie Oakley. Growing up, Annie's family was very poor. She did all she could to raise money to help her mom and dad. Earning enough money to put food on the table was very hard, until Annie fired her first shot. Annie became the best shot in Greenville. She was able to sell all the quail, beaver, and mink she could shoot to the storekeeper, Mr. Katzenberger. This helped Annie's family. One day, Annie Oakley entered a shooting contest where she met and beat her husband. They married and later joined the Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in 1885. She became famous as the, 'Little Girl of the Western Plains'. Annie Oakley had a long career with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show where she became one of our most beloved American Legends.
