One of the most famous figures to emerge from the era of the Wild West, Annie Oakley's skill with a pistol brought her international renown. An advocate for teaching women how to handle a gun, she shot through cigars as they hung from her husband's mouth, and could split a playing card edge-on at 30 paces. A fan favourite, she was the second-highest grossing performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, after Wild Bill himself. #WikiSleep #AnnieOakley #Sleep #WildWest #MentalHealth
