(Text 10)
Annie Oakley was a woman who became famous for her ability to shoot a gun and hit very small objects. There are hundreds of stories about her. Many of the stories involve her adventures in the American Wild West. Others tell about her travels with native Americans. However, most of the stories are not true. She did not grow up in the Wild West, nor did she fight in any battles. Annie Oakley was a performer in a traveling Wild West show. She used her skills at shooting a gun to become one of the most famous sharpshooters in American history.
Annie Oakley was born in 1860 in Ohio. Her family was very poor. At the age of 8, she decided to help them earn money. She taught herself how to use her grandfather’s gun and began hunting animals for food and then sold the animals to the people in her town. When she was 15, she had made enough money to pay for her family’s farm. Soon her ability to shoot became well known in her town. She got the name “Little Sure Shot” because of her shooting ability and because she was only 1.5 meters tall. However, she left the people who loved her on November 3, 1926.
