We always read her story with our wild west unit and I have been impressed by the impression that she was a deeply humanitarian and generous person.Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-17885846435784562152009-03-10T10:14:00.000-07:002009-03-10T10:14:00.000-07:00You probably know this already since you are inter...You probably know this already since you are interested in her biograpy, Suzanne.<BR/>But I'd like to mention it so others dropping in here might know.<BR/>Annie's parent(s) was/were Quakers, whether practicing at that time or not, I don't remember.<BR/>Quakers were not so hung up on what women couldn't do as others in those days, so Annie had a lot more freedom to experiment with "unfeminine" things at an early age than many other girls.<BR/>Her story really is interesting and "Annie Get Your Gun" is not the best place to look for accuracy on her.Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.com
