Annie Oakley, the super-duper-better-than-any-boy sharpshooter, hardly ever missed!!
She shot a cigarette out of the prince's mouth. She won 2 million dollars for that. She was also famous for being in the wild Bill Hickock show. She also shot down 10 glass balls in a row.
She started her shooting when she was 7 years old. When she was 20 years old, she shot quail by the dozen, sold them, and kept the money to buy herself a ticket to Cincinnati. About 2 months later, Annie earned enough money to buy a ticket. In Cincinnati, Annie went to a shooting contest with Frank Butler. Annie won the contest 25-24. She got 50 bucks for it. She later died in a train crash.
The part I liked best was where a man send Annie a picture of himself and asked her to marry him. Annie shot a few holes in the man's head (in the picture, of course) and send the picture back to him. I did not like the part where page was ripped so i couldn't read it.
I would recomend the book to any one who likes books about the west.
