Annie Oakley, markswoman, famous for her horseback-riding stunts and trick-shot performances, comes to life in Sue Macy's new compelling and fascinating biography, Bull's-Eye. Born Phoebe Ann Moses, a Quaker, in the backwoods of Ohio, Annie Oakley overcame extreme childhood poverty, abuse, and work as a laborer before making the giant leap to sharpshooter and world renown entertainer. Her amazing story, so often seen in movies, Broadway shows, and television is fleshed out here, relying less on the larger-than-life, wild west myth, and more on the intimate details and little known facts about this remarkable woman's life. Ms Macy's easy to read text is told in an engaging, conversational tone, and is enhanced with actual historical photographs, posters, advertisements, and newpaper articles, as well as quotes from Annie herself, from her unpublished autobiography. With a chronology, resource guide, and author's note at the end to fill in additional details and further discussions, Bull's-Eye is perfect for youngsters 8-12, and is a unique little treasure that is sure to whet the appetite and send imaginations soaring.
