1894 - Annie Oakley

A little slice of American History from the Edison Black Maria studio from November of 1894 shows the real life Annie Oakley shooting fixed targets and airbourne tossed glass balls. Truly a fascinating little piece of film that bridges the real Wild West with a theme that was to run through countless fictional movies in the century to follow. Directed by W.K.L. Dickson (Thomas Edison's Black Maria Studio)

omg, think, that vid was recorded 114 years ago...!!!

This woman was a sensation in her day, and possibly the best rifle shot who ever lived.

[parzooman]

I think that's her husband Frank Butler in the film as well.

[JuanPaBJxGothic]

fortunately it's silent; otherwise, it'd be so annoying hearing that shotgun repeatedly

[imkohia]

This is crazy. My instructor talked about her in a history class I took this last semester and now I get to see her in motion? That's pretty cool

[Sanchoelmalo]

girls with guns, the first fetish ever filmed?

[goodkarma33]

I'd tap that.

[Mahareshi]

I want to play her in Halo.

[MrGangstagrillz11]

[canturgan]

No health and safety in those days.

@JackieMagenta Don't blame Annie because you got an E, blame yourself.
