Sharpshooter Annie Oakley, a beloved icon of American history, comes to life for a new generation. Born in the backwoods of Ohio, this remarkable woman overcame poverty and abuse to achieve worldwide fame as a daring performer and markswoman. Traveling with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show, Annie delighted audiences throughout the U.S. and Europe with her target shooting, trick shots, and horseback riding stunts. Combining lively text, historical photos, and original quotes from Annie herself, Sue Macy reveals the gripping true story behind this legendary heroine. Recommended for ages 9 to 12.

At last, National Geographic's award-winning photobiography of Annie Oakley bursts into paperback. This stirring story of an enduring American heroine has won widespread acclaim and was named a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year.

Annie's amazing life comes sharply into focus in a compelling narrative, period photography, and in her own words. Two historical maps and a chronology ground the legend in time and place.

Readers ride through a life filled with adventure. Annie grows up in the backwoods of Ohio, hunting game to feed her family. Discovered by Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show, she wows crowds with target shooting and daring horse riding.

Annie's hardships are examined too, as is her inspirational status as a role model for women.

• American Library Association Notable Book
• Best Book of the Year—School Library Journal
• Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List
