"You are a very, very clever little girl." -- Queen Victoria to Annie OakleyHer life was the stuff of legend -- from humble Quaker origins in Darke County, Ohio, Annie Oakley (nee Phoebe Ann Moses) rose to the heights of renown as a world-famous entertainer and featured performer with Buffalo Bill's Wild West extravaganza. Her self-discipline, showmanship, and legendary gifts as a sharpshooter earned her the adulation of millions; yet to close friends she was always a generous, gentle woman. She excelled in a man's sport but never lost her feminine appeal.
This volume provides a wonderful behind-the-scenes look at the life and career of Annie Oakley -- her impoverished girlhood, long and devoted marriage to Frank Butler, early years with the Sells Brothers Circus, and especially seventeen years spent touring with Buffalo Bill (William F. Cody), playing to packed arenas in America and Europe.
More than 100 rare photographs, posters, handbills, and other memorabilia document Annie, Buffalo Bill, Johnnie Baker, and other members of the famous troupe; the show on tour in Europe; Annie's celebrated trick shots, famous visitors, etc. In a career that spanned more than 40 years (1882-1925), Annie Oakley accumulated a remarkable store of memorable experiences: command performances before the crowned heads of Europe; adoption by Sitting Bull (who named her "Little Sure Shot"); and an appearance before the first motion-picture camera, Edison's Kinetograph, in 1894. These and many other outstanding moments come to vivid life in Mrs. Sayer's fascinating and informative text.
Through the years, the life and legend of Annie Oakley have been immortalized on stage, film and TV, and in books. Yet few presentations offer as revealing and intimate a look at a genuine American folk heroine as this book. In addition, nostalgia buffs, show-business historians, and Americana enthusiasts will find it an informative account of life with one of the greatest entertainment spectacles of nineteenth-century America: Buffalo Bill's Wild West.

Would recommend for casual show.
Color: 8405-Blue
It is very nice, I have many watches, but this one is the main one I use for casual wear. One thing I do not like: After about two days of either use or not use, the time gets off, by a couple hours but you can put it back pretty easily. And the "day display" on the watch never stays correct due to the fact that every month doesn't have 31 days in it. But other than that, it is a great watch for show, not to keep track of time.

Money Well Spent
Color: Silver Face Brown Band-G8408
I love this little watch, I can count on it every time one of my $10,000 watches stops working. The thing just sits in the drawer and waits for me, I was going to give it to a small child as a gift. I changed my mind only because it's good to know I have a dependable watch somewhere. I guess I'll have to pay attention to the battery at some point but I will change the battery and not just toss the watch..

A little disappointed.
Color: Silver Face Brown Band-G8408
The watch looks good but it stops running at times and if I move it around it starts back up. Been running okay for over a week now. Band is not as nice as it looks in the pictures, cheap looking. Will work for now.
