Talk:Annie Oakley

message: The article states that her father, a Quaker, fought in the War of 1812, but died from the effects of exposure in 1866.  Wouldn't it be more reasonable to assume that he served in the American Civil War, which ended in the year before his death?
There is a reference, in the article, to his military record.  Would somebody who knows more about this than I please make any necessary corrections.  This also begs the question of why would a Quaker be fighting in a war anyway, but that is not really germane to Annie Oakley's biography.

replies: text: Further, it states he died in 1866 at the age of 66 so we can assume he was born circa 1800. This makes his service in the war of 1812 not impossible given that the state Annie was born is in Ohio, which participated in the war. Though it warrants further citation and discussion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.244.119.163 (talk • contribs) 03:27, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Annie Oakley's father's military service 

message: The popular story about the encounter of the two has, unfortunately, so far not been corroborated through contemporary sources. Neither the very broad press-coverage of Annie's tour with Buffalo Bill nor biographies of the German Kaiser (e.g., by John Röhl) contain the slightest indication that they ever met. If I should be mistaken, and someone can prove it, this source should be quoted. The citation given in the article is no solid source.

thread_title:  Gunmen of the American Old West 

message: These are German Baptist Brethren (Dunkard) names Wise, Cripe, Brumbaugh, Wagoner, Studebaker.  These are names closely related to Annie.
Also, Jacob Moses and his wife Susannah Wise were of German blood and not a bit English.  The history books got this wrong.  it's also Dunkard instead of Quaker.  
This article did seem find He Wolf was Jacob Boos (Boose) or (Beus).  Therefore, Elizabeth Diefendall would be She Wolf.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diefendall (talk • contribs) 19:17, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm editing the line about the Gail Davis TV show to reflect that other than the name and the fact she's a sharpshooter, the character as portrayed bears no similarity at all to the real Annie Oakley.  Elsquared (talk) 03:11, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
