Annie Oakley
Phoebe Anne Moses, called Annie Oakley, got her start with a rifle in Darke County, Ohio, at the age of 10. She helped provide food for her family by hunting and then began a business selling her extra game to shops in Cincinnati. It was there in 1880 that she entered a shooting contest against Frank Butler, a professional sharpshooter. Frank became her husband and later her manager, helping Annie to win stardom in a show called Buffalo Bill's Wild West.
