Annie Oakley (born
Phoebe Ann Mosey; August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926) was an American
sharpshooter and
exhibition shooter. Her "amazing talent" first came to light when the then 15-year-old won a shooting match with traveling show marksman
Frank E. Butler (whom she married). The couple joined
Buffalo Bill's Wild West show a few years later. Oakley became a renowned international star, performing before royalty and heads of state.
