While researching the era of On the Shore. (1917-1925), I read about Annie Oakley, a TV western heroine of my childhood. Born Phoebe Ann Mosey in 1860, the sixth of nine children in a poor Quaker family, this five-foot tall sharpshooter set a record by breaking 100 clay targets in a row on April 16, 1922. Read more about On the Shore in NOVELS and about Oakley’s amazing life as a performer and gun educator in BEHIND THE STORY.
