PRODUCT SUMMARY
Meet Phoebe Ann Moses, better known as Annie Oakley. She's a petite spitfire of a gal, but in the world of champion shooters, nobody stands taller. Born into poverty, things change for Annie and her family when she discovers her unique talent for sharpshooting. Not only does Annie's expert marksmanship put food on the table, it also gives her a ticket into a new life in entertainment -- a life that brings her great joy throughout the years. With her incredible shooting feats and awe-inspiring stunts, Annie wows crowds, wins the heart of famous marksman Frank Butler and earns the respect of entertainer Buffalo Bill and the revered Native American, Chief Sitting Bull. Part of the multivolume Greatest American Tall Tales & Legends DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
