Meet Annie Oakley – History Speakers Bureau

Our History Speakers Bureau program brings engaging living history presentations to libraries, schools, and other organizations throughout Colorado. Join us and the Mission Viejo Library as we meet Abigail Adams.

Performed by Elsa Wolff, Annie Oakley, born Phoebe Ann Moses, was the most famous American woman of her day. Now in her late 50’s, Annie speaks of her life and experiences from her humble roots in rural Ohio, to taking center stage as champion shooter and star of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West. You’ll hear stories of challenges she faced in and out of the arena. Annie made her mark while competing in a sport and world dominated by men, all the while maintaining her reputation as a dignified lady.
