Hello and welcome back to Wild West Deep Dives.
This is part 2 of our Deep Dive Series into the life of Annie Oakley.
Last week, we talked about her tough upbringing and her fighting her way out of it! Her becoming a local star for her shooting ability by beating her future husband in a shooting match. Her first few shows with Mr. Frank Butler, then her getting adopted by Chief Sitting Bull, who was the victor over George Armstrong Custer at the battle of the Little Big Horn.
This week, she joins Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, has a rivalry with another female sharpshooter and gets arrested. Then we will go into her later life, her acting career and much more.
Patron possibly coming soon! My idea is to get some episodes released, get the podcast out there, then provide patrons with some quick episodes that are jam packed with information and stories!
