De tradus
Phoebe Anne Moses was born on a farm. When she was very young, she used to watch her father and his friends shoot animals: she wanted to try too. They laughed at her because they thought she was too young and not strong enough to hold a gun properly. But she surprised them all by learning to shoot and becoming very good at it. Her family were very poor, too poor to give Annie a good education. When she was a child, her family had to borrow money from the bank to keep their farm.
Annie hunted game,which she sold to help pay the mortgage on the family farm:no rabbit was quick enough to escape her bullets!
Annie married a marksman whom she met at a shooting competition.Together they starded their own shooting shows and circuses around the country.
She was such a good shot that she could split a playing card from the side,standing ten metres away.She could hit a coin thrown in the air and even shoot cigarettes held between her husband's lips.Annie Oakley travelled to Europe with the Wild West Show.When she was in Berlin ,the Kaiser Wilhelm insisted that she shoot a cigarette from his lips.
When Annie was forty-one she was seriously injured in a train crash.Everyone thought that would be the end of her career.But she recovered quickly and as soon as she was well enough to perform she continued to amaze her audiences for many years
