Product Description:
At thirty paces she could shoot a hole through the ace of hearts. A pioneer of the gender frontier she wasn't afraid to challenge the standards of society or stand up to the most powerful people.Annie Oakley's name is etched in the American landscape. In an age when the west was the province of gunfighters she was probably the finest shot of all. But her skills were not showcased on the frontier but in a traveling revue that evoked nostalgia for an era that was fading.

And see photos from her scrapbook and film footage from a performance just four years before her death in 1926. From her childhood in Ohio to her days in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show this is a fascinating portrait of the woman and the legend.ANNIE OAKLEY is an intimate look at one of America's favorite folk heroes the "crack shot in petticoats."System Requirements:Running Time 50 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
