Welcome to the beginning of the semester! I found a few exciting websites with information about key people in the Wild West.
Nobody symbolizes the frontier more than Annie Oakley, the sharpshooter who became famous in the male dominated West. This is a video of her shooting, her biography and a video of a modern day sharpshooter attempting one of her tricks!
Additionally, there are numerous famous gunslingers from this era like Billy the Kid, Jesse James & Butch Cassiday. Follow this link for more information on them. But there were also some famous black cowboys that are often overlooked in the Hollywood image of the Wild West. Nat Love is probably the most well remembered because of his memoirs.
Enjoy!
