Annie Oakley #2


The story gets underway with an actual historical event: the shooting match between 15-year-old Annie and professional sharpshooter Frank Butler (Preston Foster) who, for some reason, was renamed Toby Walker for this film.
[Even though Annie (born Phoebe Ann Moses) eventually beat Butler in the 25th round, he courted and then married her the following year when she was 16. They then toured together professionally with various shows, where she used the stage name Annie Oakley.]
