Current Members & The Characters We Portray

Juanita Daley: I enjoy pets, people, and the Old West. I first became interested in the Wild West watching Gail Davis as Annie Oakley on TV every afternoon when I was a small girl. I wanted to bring the Old West to life, so I started our group Annie Oakley & Company, and to this day after sixteen years this group has become The Bulls Eye of Success.
Annie Oakley: (1860-1926) Born Phoebe Ann Mosey, and starting from humble Quaker origins in Darke County, Ohio, Annie rose to the heights of renown as a world famous sharpshooter and was a featured performer with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. She excelled in a man's sport but never lost her feminine appeal. (Sayers)
Erik Thompson:
Col. William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill):(1846-1917) He was a Pony Express rider, Civil War combatant, scout for the army, and Indian fighter. As a hunter supplying buffalo meat for railroad builders, Cody earned the nickname "Buffalo Bill." Dime novels about his adventures won him fame, as did the Wild West shows he operated. (Murray 62)
Harry Knight: Reliving history is one reason playing the part of Wild Bill Hickok is satisfying. I also enjoy historic railroading which I believe coincide closely with Old West history. Although not in the Wild West era, antique farm tractors and old radio collecting are other great ways for me to spend time.
James Butler (Wild Bill) Hickok: (1837-1876) He was a hunting expedition guide, a brilliant pistol shot, and a lawman in rough cattle towns. Hickok acted in a Wild West show and on stage - playing himself. He was shot in the back in the mining town of Deadwood, Dakota Territory. (Murray 50)
Elza Corrill: I have a B.A. in Theater from Eastern Kentucky University, and I have been using my experience to help direct the shows we put on. I also am the tech man, and makeup artist for the group. When I am not working behind the scenes I am portraying Annie's Husband and manager Frank Butler.
Frank Butler: (1850-1926) Frank was an Irishman who emigrated to the United States when he was a boy. He was a sharpshooter, and the story goes that he met Annie at a shooting contest. Although Frank lost the contest he won Annie's heart and they were soon married. Frank soon realized that Annie was a better shot than he was and devoted himself to promoting Annie's career.
Barb Rooney:
Martha Jane Cannary (Calamity Jane): (1848-1903) was born in Princeton, Missouri. This hard drinking woman wore men's clothing, used their bawdy language, chewed tobacco and was handy with a gun. She traveled from Arizona through the Dakota territories during her rough life. At her death, the "White Devil of the Yellowstone" was remembered as a saint by the citizens of Deadwood, where she helped nurse the sick during a smallpox plague. She is buried near Wild Bill Hickock at Deadwood, South Dakota. (http://www.cowgirls.com/dream/cowgals/calamity.htm)

Texas Jack Omohundro: (July 26, 1846 - June 28, 1880) Texas Jack was born in Palmyra, Virginia. Texas Jack was at home on the open plains, and began to become a favorite scout among the various cavalry commanders due to his outstanding tracking and guiding abilities, Cody and Omohundro appeared together in the stage show, "Scouts of The Prairie," By late 1873, Wild Bill would join the two showmen as one of the new primary leads in the renamed production "Scouts of The Plains" Through out the remainder of the late 1870s, Texas Jack would continue to perform in the theater.
