Man loses shooting contest to a woman. Immediately thinks, "I just met my future wife." Stays married for 50 years until she dies. Literally can't live without her and dies himself 18 days later. If that isn't love at first sight, and true love, I don't know what is.
Could have been 15, could have been 20, the records from that time period seem to be shoddy. As Simon mentioned in the video. In any case, if Mr. Butler liked them young he gave it up after meeting her.
Guys go for chicks who can do guy stuff. I met a girl who beat me at Trivial Pursuit then helped me dig a shitter for an out house! She was Wayyy outta my league. :p
Concerning the cigarette shooting: She once commented that, if her aim had been just a little off, there might not have been a WW I ! It was Sitting Bull who named her "Little Sure Shot". They were close friends. He gave away his own money and then borrowed from Annie to give to poor children. Annie used some very expensive shotguns. It was Charles Lancaster who first fitted her with one. Lead poisoning may have been the true cause of her anemia.
So the story goes (according to Oakley anyway) on one of her European tours, Kaiser Wilhelm was absolutely fascinated at her abilities in the arena, having watched her shoot several very small items out of her husbands mouth without fail... SO the Kaiser decided he wanted to step out and "show of manhood and trust" he begged Oakley to shoot a cigar (or cigarette) from his teeth... *It's important to note that even Oakley was known to have different renditions of the story here... (thus the parentheticals, as I've heard several) In one version, she agreed and shot true, neatly nipping the ash and cherry from the end of the cigar at a lengthy distance... In another, the politest of refusals was made on behalf of the esteem and nobility of the Kaiser, and that there was still significant risk to his health. Even that she was certainly a world-class marksman, this was still gun-play and while her husband would hold no grudge in injury, the country of Germany could not possibly be so forgiving even of an accident. In any case, (if you believe in the tale) it was one of Annie Oakley's life-long laments about her occasions to Europe, and that little chance she might've killed the bastard and stopped a war before it even began... And for what it's worth, I honestly kind of doubt the "stopped the war before it started" narrative. After all, Kaiser Wilhelm may have been instrumental in blowing the whole of conflict so far out of proportion, but he probably could not have single-handedly really embroiled the entire world into a single war... Due note : I'm not suggesting any such thing as lying. Oakley was certainly at the top of the game, and it's very possible the instance may have even played out more or less. At the same time, I'm also relatively confident tales get stretched a bit in retelling, and there's a lot to say for the "fun of listening"... :o)
I guess it's funny then that she thought killing Kaiser Wilhelm II would have been a viable way to stop WW I from happening. He was neither among those who set the whole affair in motion nor was he one of the key political figures involved...
Of course she didn't really believe that. She wasn't an idiot. And, yes, he did play a significant role in establishing and maintaining the environment that permitted the cascade leading to the war. And no one forced him to sign the mobilization order. There was no gun at his head.
I have seen claims of a buckshot round used in the shows. As a kid of 6 years old in Rushville Indiana. We had a cowboy pull up to our school in a Cadillac with bull horns on the front and pistols for door handles. I think I remember his name as Bob . And he snatched a cigarette out of my mouth with a bull whip. That was in 1967.
I would be embarrassed to tell you how much time I spend watching your channels.They are very entertaining and informative and almost hypnotic for me. You do a wonderful job in a very clean and specific format. Thanks
Juu Ju ♥️ :) yes and he was very smart to pursue her. She had amazing grit and honor coupled with a charitable heart. I have always been fascinated by her life's story. Wm. Randolph Hearst's Reporting falsehoods did her a terrible wrong
Two people in history stand tall for me. Sir Winston Churchill (the only man I would ever call "sir") and Annie Oakley. He was the Last Lion, she the Last Lioness. I have read much of her life, a truly great woman. Her and Frank would spend many winters here In NC, at Pinehurst. She taught thousands to shoot here. I have gone through a few boxes of their papers here at the Tuft Archives and held her gun. She was only 5 feet tall. Sitting Bull called her "Little sure shot". Regards, Death Valley
Great productions like this has gotten my subscription. Your delivery is very good and witty without trying too hard, I find some other presenters come across more stupid than funny when trying to add wit but for you, Simon, it seems natural. Bravo!!!
Annie Oakley was a great American, as was her husband, Frank Butler, and her story follows the classic Horatio Alger line of overcoming great adversity to achieve success. I only know of two movies about her life, neither of which stuck too closely to the facts, the musical "Annie, Get Your Gun" (1950), starring Betty Hutton and Howard Keel, and "Annie Oakley" (1935) starring Barbara Stanwyck. A proper treatise on her life and times would make a great contribution to American entertainment lore, but I imagine very few directors or writers today could master the subject without resorting to darker themes and motives. Such is the current state of the American dream.
It's stories like this...every one is like another strike from a tinderbox, reigniting the spark of hope that slowly dies over time. Thanks for this one, Simon. Loved it.
Another female soldier, but not American, worth mentioning would be Milunka Savic (spelling check needed), a Serbian woman who served in the 1st and 2nd Balkans war and WW1. When she was discovered, she was instead given command of her squad and sent back in. She was said to prefer carrying a sack of grenades to throw rather than a rifle, but was still a better shot with a pistol than a French soldier who challenged her to a match after Serbia fell in WW1.
Are you kidding? You never heard of "Yellow Journalism"? The term refers to scandal-mongering journalism with eye-catching headlines in the sales war between Joe Pulitzer's NY World and William Randolph Hearst's NY Journal in 1890s. You know like MSNBC today on Russiagate, but without any critical competitors in the mainstream media.
And fake justice. She was entirely in the right, but lost money. Whereas the Newspapers no doubt made more money selling papers than they lost on settling and lawyers. And that is very much still the American Injustice system.
+That1CoolChick Oh, really? Because it was acceptable at the time for women to wear trousers like men anyhow? There is nothing feminine about that square-jawed rugged woman who rejected everything feminine as demonstrated by her behaviour. Merely because you equate feminity with pretty dresses in your shallow manner does not change the actual definition of those words. Frankly, for clarification sake, I despise your kind's apparent hatred for anything feminine. And don't even dare say "You just can't handle a strong woman". Yes, I "can't" handle women who like to pretend they are men because I am not gay.
Exactly the same thing happened in World War One a soldier called Bob who turned out to be female tried to get past captain Blackadder dressed as a male. Classic
Geez. I've heard a lot of stories about 19th/early 20th century women being sent to work for abusive families because their birth families were too poor to provide for them. Thank goodness that sort of thing isn't as common today! (Though the times it _does_ happen tend to hide themselves a lot better...)
Oh no, it does happen especially in the Philippines. They often go to work for Chinese families in Hong Kong where the conditions are abysmal and stressful...
Yes. I just quit a situation...oh my...I'm still not recuperate fully. AWFUL. I was virtually a prisoner and dying. I GAVE notice of one week and fled.
You might have mentioned that once, Keiser Wilhelm was doing a tour over here, and he stood, with a cig in his mouth while Annie shot it out. She later said, during the war, that if she had leaned in 3 inches she could have saved the world from WW 1
Hey today I found out....my friends and I were playing skyrim and we got into a debate that maybe you folks can solve. Ready? Did knights in medevil times get struck by lighting? Did they put fighting on hold during thunderstorms? If not how many met their fate by being struck by lightning. Thank you love your channel
Don Rowe well if they were wearing full metal armor, the electricity would just be conducted through the armor, not their body. Additionally, being struck by lightning would be pretty unlikely, unless in an open field, in which case rain probably wouldn’t make good fighting conditions. Disclaimer: this is all speculation, I’m not a scientist or historian, just a random person on the internet. I recommend looking to other sources (Wikipedia) to see if the facts line up with my main points
all those amazing things in her life and they turned it into "annie get your gun"?!? lol old hollywood had no idea what made a good storyline obviously
FUNNY YOU SHOULD USE THE WORD "DIGNITY" WHILE DESCRIBING ANNIE, AS I WAS THINKING IF ONE WORD COULD SUM THE LADY UP IT WOULD BE THAT VERY WORD, A FINE LADY, AND ROLE MODEL, BUT MOST OF ALL A GREAT HUMAN BEING [YES AND A BAD ASS] THOUGH UNLIKELY SHE WOULD LIKE THE MONIKER TOO MUCH
+Timothy McLean Yes, Agreed! I gave a cynical/straight remark as to the way they displayed the words "Child abuse" in cutesy child letter-block toys. Not at all a comment about the subject.
If they reboot Star Trek(and erase the Kelvin Timeline) I think the title(He should get a real Knighthood) of Captain of the Enterprise galaxy class NCC-1701-F.
Why is it ok to say oh instead of zero like double 'oh' 7 for james bond and general other time 'oh' is used when it is actually a letter and not a number, but just looks the same. Like 'eye' isnt used when you say 1. Or is 'oh' just used for both and its ok?
FlushStroke Depends on the context. If clear communication is necessary, such as military or air traffic control, then it's essential for as little ambiguity, and therefore "zero" would be preferred.
Now don't get me wrong, I would NOT want to be on the opposite side from Annie in a shootout, but doing the sort of shooting she did is a far cry from shooting at people while they are shooting back at you.
Shame on you! You left out the part about Kaiser Wilhelm the Second. When Annie was touring Europe and Kaiser Bill was still a prince, Annie offered to shoot a cigarette from any gentleman in the crowd. Wilhem, ever the attention-seeker, volunteered, over everyone's objections. Sure enough, Annie shot true, knocking off the tip off the cigarette. Later, during the First World War, just after sinking of the RMS Lusitania by German U-Boat, resulting in the loss of life of over 1000 civilians, including 148 American citizens and many children, Annie wrote to the now-Kaiser. The letter read something like this: _Dear Kaiser Wilhelm_ _May I please take another shot?_
Really like the editing and narration in these videos, but you should do different captions. The quotes are ok, but when you just write what you say it’s kind of repetitive and boring (font style really nice though)
Question: What is the curse of Tuscomsa? The supposed curse placed on the USA presidents for one of them to die every twenty years by a Indian warrior.
Kuroyuki no Ryu I was just about to say wasn’t it every president elected in a year ending in a zero. Than heard myself in my head and realized it’s every twenty years.
Read some of the comments! I'm always amazed at the number of people who have no idea who some of the American heroes are! Or if they have heard of a hero, they don't realize that the name denotes a real person! Doesn't anyone read history any more?
I like the first bonus fact (6:03). Many women dress like trash to get attention but that just hurts all women. The feminist movement says women should be allowed to dress however they want and I agree they should, but don't expect me to have respect for you if your boobs are hanging out. Yes some guys like that but not the kind of guys you want (unless you like trailer trash).
TheTimoprimo maybe I wanted the first and second comment because I'm petty like that? Or maybe RUclips lagged and caused the fuck up. It's the second one and I deleted the other post though I guess I could have deleted this one so sit seemed as if it never happened but oh well I just farted anyway.

Thank you for the awesome content.
Simon should do a bio about himself

Nothing like a woman who can take care of herself... and you! Lol
Could have been 15, could have been 20, the records from that time period seem to be shoddy. As Simon mentioned in the video. In any case, if Mr. Butler liked them young he gave it up after meeting her.
Guys go for chicks who can do guy stuff. I met a girl who beat me at Trivial Pursuit then helped me dig a shitter for an out house! She was Wayyy outta my league. :p
I would argue that for at least a time, Annie was THE best sharpshooter, man or woman, of her day. Great video.
Annie Oakley is one of my favorite historical figures thank you so much for doing something for a woman who was an amazing pioneer
I didn't know much of her besides her name, but now I can see I missed a lot. She was amazing, I want to learn more.
wow what a woman! obviously VERY generous too. good job, guys!
Concerning the cigarette shooting: She once commented that, if her aim had been just a little off, there might not have been a WW I ! It was Sitting Bull who named her "Little Sure Shot". They were close friends. He gave away his own money and then borrowed from Annie to give to poor children. Annie used some very expensive shotguns. It was Charles Lancaster who first fitted her with one. Lead poisoning may have been the true cause of her anemia.
Whose cigarettes was she shooting that she could have prevented WW I by missing?
The Kaiser. Well-known story. The "missing" comment was hers. Actually, I think it was a cigar.
So the story goes (according to Oakley anyway) on one of her European tours, Kaiser Wilhelm was absolutely fascinated at her abilities in the arena, having watched her shoot several very small items out of her husbands mouth without fail... SO the Kaiser decided he wanted to step out and "show of manhood and trust" he begged Oakley to shoot a cigar (or cigarette) from his teeth...
*It's important to note that even Oakley was known to have different renditions of the story here... (thus the parentheticals, as I've heard several)
In one version, she agreed and shot true, neatly nipping the ash and cherry from the end of the cigar at a lengthy distance...
In another, the politest of refusals was made on behalf of the esteem and nobility of the Kaiser, and that there was still significant risk to his health. Even that she was certainly a world-class marksman, this was still gun-play and while her husband would hold no grudge in injury, the country of Germany could not possibly be so forgiving even of an accident.
In any case, (if you believe in the tale) it was one of Annie Oakley's life-long laments about her occasions to Europe, and that little chance she might've killed the bastard and stopped a war before it even began...

Annie are ya Oakley?
@Unhinged Cringe Fun fact: That was actually the name of a 60's Batman villainess.
This is why annie Oakley is cool as hell
In Vegas we have a street named annie oakley
You can view some of her artifacts in Greenville, Ohio. They have a museum in the town.
I have seen claims of a buckshot round used in the shows. As a kid of 6 years old in Rushville Indiana. We had a cowboy pull up to our school in a Cadillac with bull horns on the front and pistols for door handles. I think I remember his name as Bob . And he snatched a cigarette out of my mouth with a bull whip. That was in 1967.
Sounds like Annie Oakley would make a good episode of Biographics!
I'm all for this, she deserves an episode! :)
I'd watch the hell out of that.
Agreed!
deadwood
I always knew Oakley was cool. I never knew she was THAT cool! Great work, Simon.
What a wonderful lady. And couple! Great role models; both her and her husband. Great video, thanks!
I would be embarrassed to tell you how much time I spend watching your channels.They are very entertaining and informative and almost hypnotic for me. You do a wonderful job in a very clean and specific format. Thanks
So basically Frank got shot in the heart by Cupid
Juu Ju ♥️ :) yes and he was very smart to pursue her. She had amazing grit and honor coupled with a charitable heart. I have always been fascinated by her life's story. Wm. Randolph Hearst's Reporting falsehoods did her a terrible wrong
In the end, they both won.
She really DID get a man with a gun, contrary to that song, LOL.
Two people in history stand tall for me. Sir Winston Churchill (the only man I would ever call "sir") and Annie Oakley. He was the Last Lion, she the Last Lioness. I have read much of her life, a truly great woman. Her and Frank would spend many winters here In NC, at Pinehurst.

"So how did you two meet?"
"I kicked his ass in a shooting contest"
Looks to me like newspapers haven’t changed much though the years

Darke County Infirmary sounds like the title for a classic horror game hospital based chapter.

I had no idea... thanks crew
and Simon too!
One of the best stories lately! Thanks!
Now this is what Women's March is about.
These damn things are addictive!!!!!
Another female soldier, but not American, worth mentioning would be Milunka Savic (spelling check needed), a Serbian woman who served in the 1st and 2nd Balkans war and WW1.

What badass she is!
Women are excellent fighters, given the chance.
reletave to whom? and under what cricumstances?
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
@@jaqssmith1666 Because of guns.
@QuietLife Yes, because anyone can shoot a gun.
Wow...fake news even back then. Another good one Simon.
Are you kidding? You never heard of "Yellow Journalism"?

You know like MSNBC today on Russiagate, but without any critical competitors in the mainstream media.
Ah. Thank you.
Read some Lincoln Quotes about politics back then. Not much different than today. Fake news, fear-mongering, etc.
Right. Thank you. It's just something the average Joe doesn't consider.........
And fake justice. She was entirely in the right, but lost money. Whereas the Newspapers no doubt made more money selling papers than they lost on settling and lawyers. And that is very much still the American Injustice system.
that was very cool i never heard any stories about annie thanks great video !
The Soviets had female snipers in WWII
That was an act of desperation that to the extent of my knowledge was not repeated for the rest of the duration of the Soviet Union.
they also had female snipers in ww1 so what? what about it..
Did Annie Oakley ever meet Calamity Jane? I would imagine so if they both worked with Wild Bill.
I love BADASS women. Annie showed that you can be strong and still feminine.
That1CoolChick Feminine? How? Because she dressed like a woman?
How shallow.
M.D. Geist Yes. How many women do you know of shoot guns in dresses? That's pretty BADASS and feminine. I said what I said.
fuck off
+That1CoolChick Oh, really? Because it was acceptable at the time for women to wear trousers like men anyhow?
There is nothing feminine about that square-jawed rugged woman who rejected everything feminine as demonstrated by her behaviour.

The fuck is wrong with you.
I put a period there instead of a question mark because, on second thought, I don't care about the answer.
I love this channel
Exactly the same thing happened in World War One a soldier called Bob who turned out to be female tried to get past captain Blackadder dressed as a male. Classic
saw a documentary about this
As always ...excellent.
Thank you for sharing your amazing video
Hey Simon. Measuring the Thames to Nile River....i could be a slave to info
Who else wants Simon to do a biographics on her? Top tenz female sharpshooters?
C'mon man!!
Geez. I've heard a lot of stories about 19th/early 20th century women being sent to work for abusive families because their birth families were too poor to provide for them. Thank goodness that sort of thing isn't as common today! (Though the times it _does_ happen tend to hide themselves a lot better...)
Oh no, it does happen especially in the Philippines. They often go to work for Chinese families in Hong Kong where the conditions are abysmal and stressful...
Still happening to more people than many would like to accept, and it is an ungendered problem.
Atheist Dingo oh look a neckbeard getting of his dungeon
Yes. I just quit a situation...oh my...I'm still not recuperate fully. AWFUL. I was virtually a prisoner and dying. I GAVE notice of one week and fled.
Atheist Dingo What? Educate us about that-I've never heard of that.
All the admiration for her.
Women generally make excellent shots - if they shoot at all. I knew of one that hit every time with a submashine gun on 150 m.
Ohhh.. THIS is who Ellis was talking about..
What an outstanding women with a wonderful husband.
Poor guy. Ahhhhh let’s sit down and enjoy my cigar (looks around worried) BANG! Not again.
Ruth Westheimer was a sniper in the Isreali Armed Forces.
That's still unorthodox for a child, even now.

Annie, (Katness) was the real hunger games star.
better camera? or finally 60fps?
very interesting
Very interesting !!
Bonus fact: Guns r awesome. Go to a range and shoot you'll have a good time!
unless you can't take the noise and get a bad headache.
Annie and I have a lot in common.
William Randolph Hearst never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Strong woman...got sh!t done.....
I can shoot straight too but I'd never agree to shoot a human being or even another animal.
and theyre probably making a movie about it
Hey today I found out....my friends and I were playing skyrim and we got into a debate that maybe you folks can solve. Ready? Did knights in medevil times get struck by lighting? Did they put fighting on hold during thunderstorms? If not how many met their fate by being struck by lightning. Thank you love your channel
Don Rowe well if they were wearing full metal armor, the electricity would just be conducted through the armor, not their body. Additionally, being struck by lightning would be pretty unlikely, unless in an open field, in which case rain probably wouldn’t make good fighting conditions.

Damn now I want to see a video about Debra Sampson.
all those amazing things in her life and they turned it into "annie get your gun"?!? lol old hollywood had no idea what made a good storyline obviously
You could make video about the Russian Women's Battalion of Death from WW1.
I would like to know more about women who joined war efforts as men
Do you have any more info on Frank Butler? I have been told I was descendant of his son Edward from his previous marriage.
She was a south paw it appears by the picture.
WHO DOES YOUR RESEARCH?
FUNNY YOU SHOULD USE THE WORD "DIGNITY" WHILE DESCRIBING ANNIE, AS I WAS THINKING IF ONE WORD COULD SUM THE LADY UP IT WOULD BE THAT VERY WORD, A FINE LADY, AND ROLE MODEL, BUT MOST OF ALL A GREAT HUMAN BEING [YES AND A BAD ASS] THOUGH UNLIKELY SHE WOULD LIKE THE MONIKER TOO MUCH
i LOVED her when i was a kid. i had no idea what she died of. how the hell does someoen die of ANEMIA in 1922?
When feminism was necessary. She was a great woman , tough , amazing shot , and always lady like.

Now don't get me wrong, I would NOT want to be on the opposite side from Annie in a shootout, but doing the sort of shooting she did is a far cry from shooting at people while they are shooting back at you.
She might instead have offered to act as a riflery instructor stateside. =^[.]^=
She did
Wow
Modern feminists could learn a thing or two from Annie.
Shame on you! You left out the part about Kaiser Wilhelm the Second.

Curse of Tippecanoe or Tecumseh.
Why did I get so creeped out by the wolf family. . American horror story shit
Could you imagine? Lol
What did Annie Oakly think of the NRA?
She passed away before the NRA became more active in legislatures. The NRA prior to the 1930's was more of a gun club than a lobbying group.
Read some of the comments! I'm always amazed at the number of people who have no idea who some of the American heroes are! Or if they have heard of a hero, they don't realize that the name denotes a real person! Doesn't anyone read history any more?
