@Maskedman46 Found this on the internet. Not sure of the origin..... She only rode astride for the Wild West Shows, when she was not "working" she rode sidesaddle as all proper women did. She was a classy dresser and her wild west show outfits became the rage and set a fashion trend for split skirts and ladies "western attire."

@Maskedman46 I did not make that stament. I was indicating that the person who made that statement was referring to the actual Annie and not the TV one. I seriously doubt that she rode only sidesaddle but I'll check it out.

Can you tell me a link to confirm that information about the REAL Annie Oakley riding sidesaddle because I find NO information of her even riding a horse because she was known for her "Sharpshooting"!
She had the starring role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, which propelled her to become the first American female superstar.
Using a .22 caliber rifle at 90 feet Oakley reputedly could split a playing card edge-on and put five or six more holes in it before it touched the ground.

@1952kid I don't believe any of those shows were shown in California. We had Bozo the Clown, Buck Shureshot,Engineer Bill and Sheriff John to name a few. Oh yeah, there was also Tom Hatten with Popeye cartoons. My mon was born and raised in Oklahoma and grew up in Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas. I primarily watched Westerns and Science Fiction programs with a dab of Time for Beanie (puppets) thrown in.

@Maskedman46 I believe he was referring to the real Annie Oakley - not the TV version.

@JDintheOC Both my parents are gone now, God rest there souls. Mom told us stories about outhouse's in N.J. , And dad grew up in Hells Kitchen ,NYC. He grew up like the Dead End Kids , by the Brooklyn NAVY yard, be he told us no stories of his childhood. We figured it was pritty bad for him. i come here on Utube, to watch my old carttons and shows from the 1950's and 1960's . DID you watch Super Circus and then later Terrytoon Circus with Claude Kirshner and Clownie.

@1952kid The East Side Kids or as they were also known as : The Dead End Kids. And don't even get me started on the Little Rascals, originally known as Our Gang. I wanted to have all the adventures like they did. My mom actually grew up in the same kind of environment and would tell me stories of things she did very similar to the LR.
I love these old shows. I wish TVland would show them again instead of losers like Roseanne.
