Annie Oakley
Annie Oakley, of Annie Get Your Gun fame, was one of America’s most well-known celebrities in the second half of the nineteenth century, thanks to her appearances in pulp novels and as a sharpshooter in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Oakley was photographed far more than you would expect for someone born in 1860 as a result of his celebrity.
