Happy birthday, Annie Oakley (Aug. 13)
A five-foot tall sharpshooter who toured the U.S. and Europe with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, Annie Oakley also was a generous philanthropist and the inspiration for Irving Berlin’s musical “Annie Get Your Gun.” Today is Oakley’s 150th birthday. Pour a round of Sharpshooters and prepare to belt out “You Can’t Get a Man with a Gun.”
