I chose to research ___, because__

​ I chose this person because I was looking for a biography. When I saw the back of the book something clicked. It was a girl back in the 1800's with a gun. She not only used a gun but she could outshoot a professional. She was a tricksot and a marks woman. She could do it all with a gun. That is why I picked this interesting women. __​

This famous women was born

​__ Miss Annie Oakley was born in dark country Ohio.The family relied on the son and the father for all the physical labor. When Annie was little her dad died. A little after that her brother died too. They then struggled with money for a while and had no where to stay with very little money.When her dad died she picked up the gun over the fireplace and decided she was going to take a shot. That was just the beginning.

__Her early years were spent__ Annie's early years were hard on her. She was sent to another family and treated like a slave. After that she was sent to a caring and loving family and when they heard about how Annie was treated they were horrified. With her new family she had plenty of free time to shoot with her gun. This is when she developed most of her skill. She also did hunting for the family too. She was very happy living with them.

__Her later years were spent__

Later in her life she met Frank Butler and got married. Frank was a trick shooter. Together they were hired for Buffalo Bill's Wild West and traveled the world and made a fortune. Annie was a sharp shooter and a trick shooter and did a lot of competing. She was challenged a lot by others. When traveling with the show she brought weights with her for exersice. She thought this was very important.

__Her accomplishments include__

Annie believed that everyone should have a fire arm not only to keep healthy but to defend themselves too. After her gun career she became an actress which did not last long. She then went into the army to help them with their shooting techniques. Annie introduced guns to women. She felt that women were equal to men. She changed the world in about five decades. That takes a lot of skill.
