"Powders I Have Used": The Adventures of Annie Oakley
Show Notes

In this episode we move out WEST!!! We explore the wild life and adventures of Annie Oakley, best known for her sharp shooting skills and top billing act with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.   Hear about how Annie was requested to shoot at people's faces -- OFTEN, how she helped advance the way film captures motion, her brief run in with a cocaine mishap, and most importantly...her dog Dave and how he played a role in her act.  Saddle up cowpoke and prepared to get blown away by this story ...  and sorry for that pun in advance.
