ANNIE OAKLEY - "Little Sure Shot" Poster "God intended women to be outside as well as men, and they do not know what they are missing when they stay cooped up in the house." - Annie Oakley. Annie Oakley (born Phoebe Ann Mosey August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926) was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter. Oakley's amazing talent and timely rise to fame led to a starring role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, which propelled her to become the first American female superstar. Using a .22 caliber rifle at 90 feet Oakley reputedly could split a playing card edge-on and put five or six more holes in it before it touched the ground. Reproduction of public domain advertising poster for "Little Sure Shot," Buffalo Bill's star attraction. Bill's star declined and never rose again after she left for retirement.
