Little Sure Shot: The Incredible Life of Annie Oakley

Despite losing $100 and the grand prize, Frank was captivated by Annie’s incredible skill. So much so that, just a year after their fateful competition, the two were married. It’s quite the story—Annie bested her own husband in a shooting match, leaving us to imagine the friendly banter that must have filled their home.

Their bond remained unshakable for over five decades. In a poignant twist of fate, Annie passed away in November 1926, and heartbreak took Frank just 18 days later, proving their love was truly lifelong.
