4.0 out of 5 stars
Probably the best,
By
This review is from: Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill's Wild West (Paperback)
This is probably the best book about Annie Oakley although it is mostly intended as an illustrated album. It narrates the life story of "little sharp shot" with particular emphasis on the period where she joined the Buffalo Bill Wild West performance, which was, of course, her prime.The photos are great and the book teaches us a lot about show business mechanisms which we think are very recent but have been used from the days of yore. I particularly like that amazing picture of Buffalo Bill and some indians crossing a venetian sqare in a gondola. How post-modern can you get? The only thing preventing me from giving it a 5 star is the paper quality that is not that good but, for this price could you ask for more? A great book for those who like the West, to know how legends and myths were made, the ways of the world in the late 19th century and, above all, why the USA has such an influence in European pop culture today.

Check out page 10!,
By Lara Sanders "cherokeeroadrunner" (Mountain View, AR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill's Wild West (Paperback)
Awesome photos, including one on page 10 I haven't seen anywhere else. If you look closely, you can see Annie's nipple thru her outfit!! Mmmmmm--I can imagine victorian Annie blushed and was mortified and wanted to destroy the photo, but her husband grinned and kept the picture himself! I wonder....
