What a tremendous intelligent tribute to Ms.Annie Oakley! Through the musical made her immortal, it didn't do her justice. I love the Broadway creation, but love the real person even more.
In a time when men let their ego ruin almost anything, the fact that he set his aside his own skills and talents and let her shine without getting butthurt is worth tremendous accolades. Obviously, he must have worked hard on his skill set and it's hard to be overshadowed. but instead of getting jealous, he gave her his platform. 'tis a shame we don't remember Annie Oakley and crew as much as we should when they were, in a very real way, the best of the best. both in talent and as people.
i wish another up to date film could be made about her especiially the trials with the newspapers and Randolph Hearts ...Jesse Buckley would be great i keep seeing her playing Annie Oakley .
Capt. Bogardus played a large roll in glass target balls being used for skeet. They're beautiful of you've never seen one esp the blue and green. They can get into the tens of thousands of dollars, but the very least you can get one is about $1000-1500 last I checked. Edit: awesome. You featured target balls. Even if brief, I'm glad it was mentioned at all. Usually a much overlooked part of the story and history.
When I first saw this on PBS I was struck by the surname of one of the female commentators. It is a name in my own family line so I contacted her and found out that it was her married name. BUT, her husband was into genealogy, and after we spoke by email we found that yes, we were very distantly related. In 1722 a man came to the colonies with that name and of his several sons I am descended from one, and he from another. It worked out to being seventh cousins, once removed.
Guns in those days did not allow for that type of perfection, hence most ofher skills are true but being that acurate to split a card sideways is made up

It's not like human beings are only good at one skill or trade.
Butler was a very masculine very secure man. He had plenty of fame and success. He loved Annie and reveled in helping her shine!

Oh man I would have loved to be a part of that show
Damn she was cute! R.I.P.
No this woman needs a Aircraft named after her. The Sailors would Love it
Trying to mentally grasp her ability is a surreal experience

Where did those bullets go that they were shooting on stage??! The ace of hearts won't slow it down much.
In the walls I'd say. Those were the days.
