She was a girl from the Ohio woods with a sharp eye, a steady hand, and a spirit no one could break. By the time she was a teenager, she was outshooting grown men. Before long, she was dazzling crowds around the world—from cowboys on the American frontier to kings and queens in Europe. But behind the spotlight and the stunts was a woman with a deep sense of fairness, a heart for helping others, and the courage to speak up when it mattered most.

This exciting nonfiction book for ages 7 to 12 brings to life the incredible journey of one of the most fearless performers in history.

Packed with true stories, surprising facts, and bold adventures, this book also shows how one woman's bravery, kindness, and determination inspired generations. Whether she was standing up to injustice, teaching women to defend themselves, or helping orphaned children, she never backed down. Her story proves that strength doesn't always shout—and real heroes aim with more than just skill.
