(Video) Women's History Month: Celebrating Annie Oakley, a woman with a gun
Annie Oakley was the best shooter of either gender in the late 1800s. A longtime superstar of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, Little Miss Sure Shot overcame a Dickensian childhood in western Ohio by shooting quail to support her family. Her accuracy was astounding even as a child--she'd shoot quail in the head, preserving as much meat as possible.
Watch as House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) salutes this great American.
