One of the most famous names to come out of the Wild West was Annie Oakley. She was a highly gifted female sharpshooter, and she became a household name thanks to her skills. Annie met Frank E.

Curly

This is Curly. He was a scout for General Custer in the Battle of Little Bighorn. At the time, Curly was only 17-years old, and for a time, it was thought that he was the only survivor of the battle. This is because he could not speak English, and when he reported what had happened in the battle, he only used rudimentary sign language. Curly became famous thanks to this, and many people wanted his photograph.
