In this historic photograph, the renowned sharpshooter Annie Oakley is captured riding side saddle on a horse that is rearing up, all while wearing a skirt. The photo was taken in front of a tent belonging to Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. From a young age, Oakley showcased her shooting skills at circuses and various shows, eventually earning herself the status of a global superstar due to her extraordinary talent. Among her many remarkable achievements.
One of Oakley's most famous feats involved splitting a playing card, with its edge facing her, and puncturing it with holes before it even touched the ground from a distance of 90 feet. She accomplished this using a .22-caliber rifle. Oakley also amazed audiences by shooting a target positioned behind her back, all while relying on a mirror to aim, as well as shooting cigarettes from her husband's lips.
