The young lady on cyncooper's page is not Ms. Oakley - Ms. Moses was darker and her face was much rounder.

Also, the anonymous lady is dressed in a later fashion, probably around 1910-1915 from the corsets and style of the hat. Annie Oakley was born in 1860 and was active with Buffalo Bill's show from 1885 until severely injured in a train wreck in 1901, she did recover and did some limited touring thereafter, but the height of her career was before the turn of the century.

I found her photo last year and shared her with cyncooper. She's just an anonymous woman who had her photo taken almost 100 years ago. I deal in antique photographs, and this one really caught my eye. I like her toughness...and her hat.
