Here is my Ohio History Project which focuses on when Annie Oakley became famous during the 1880s because the American population was fascinated with the Wild West image. Annie Oakley became the most famous woman sharpshooter because of how she presented her image as a Victorian lady. She also contributed to society by teaching women and others how to handle firearms. Her legend is still famous today due to the broadway musical and television series that twisted events of her life to fit their story line. But, it gave young girls their place in the romanticized West.
