Book Reviews of Annie Oakley
Book Review: Annie would have loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of the best you could ask for on one of the least understood artifacts of Americana; Annie Oakley, the woman and the legend, the Cowgirl of the Golden West... NOT. In fact, who Annie really was is a far more fascinating tale than anything to be gleaned out of the "Annie get your gun-" type exploitational tributes and memorabilia, of which the real and unique Annie surely deserves better, and it's a tale Shirl Kasper tells consummately well. The text is sprightly, readable and lovingly detailed. To really know and understand Annie is to know and understand the America she lived in, about which our perceptions are more phony-baloney Ned Buntline-distorted than perhaps of any other American epoch. Excellent foundation volume for any American pop-cultural bookshelf.
