Annie Oakley **NEW INFORMATION** The Real Story

For many years, the tale of Annie Oakley has been recounted, published, and republished, with numerous videos and television shows created about her life, and the information presented has often been accepted as accurate. However… the truth is that much of this information is false. Shirl Kasper, who authored a high acclaimed and remarkable book on Annie Oakley’s life, has recently released an afterword in 2023 that outlines numerous corrections to the misconceptions held by historians, authors, and society regarding Annie Oakley. In this video, I intend to share the facts about Annie Oakley’s life, her journey, her experiences, from her humble beginnings to her entry into the show business and through the end of her life. The works I used for this series are obviously Shirl Kasper’s book, another biography that was written by Courtney Riley Cooper, Annie Oakley by Captivating History, an Autobiography by Annie herself and lastly, with the huge help from Ellien, Karen, Brenda, Cathy and Don from the Annie Oakley Center, thank you for all your amazing help, y’all are amazing. Annie Oakley was resolute in her convictions and faced challenges with unwavering strength. This is the True, Real Life Story of Annie Oakley. #annieoakley #buffalobill #wildwest #oldwesthistory #buffalobillswildwestshow #westernhistory #cowboys #sharpshooter #frankbutler #williamfrederickcody Watch the FULL Wild West Deep Dives Playlist; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbhnoQnO_uMn8kPFkPnGHpzu236jk2cfw Photo Permission and Links Annie Oakley Center & Garst Museum Link; https://annieoakleycenterfoundation.com Link; https://www.garstmuseum.org Buffalo Bill’s Museum & Grave Object ID: 124; Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show Cast at the Colosseum in Verona, Italy Object ID: 976; Aerial View of Buffalo Bill's Wild West at the International Horticultural Exhibition, Earl's Court Link to Website; https://buffalobill.org Heritage Auctions Photo of Johnny Baker Link; https://www.ha.com/information/johnny-baker-archive.s True West Magazine Western Girl Photo Link; https://truewestmagazine.com/article/the-real-women-of-the-wild-west/ Library of Congress Wild West on voyage form New York to London.
