Annie Oakley was probably the most famous marksman/woman in the world when this short clip was produced in Edison's Black Maria studio in West Orange, New Jersey. Barely five feet tall, Annie was always associated with the wild west, although she was born in 1860 as Phoebe Ann Oakley Mozee (or Moses)in Darke County, Ohio. Nevertheless, she was a staple in the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show and similar wild west companies. Because of her diminutive stature, she was billed as "Little Sure...

Public kissing was greatly frowned upon during the uptight Victorian era, when this scene was produced in Thomas Edison's new glass-topped studio in New York City. As a result, the movie was banned in most areas (which of course, only made it more popular). Sadly, the two lovers have come down through history as unknowns, but their behavior is most familiar. In their day, this popular sport was called "sparkin'" if it took place inside (usually in the parlor), or "spoonin'"...

A cowboy rides a bucking bronco in what appears to be a rodeo setting. He is either bucked off or makes an unceremonious dismount -- it's really hard to tell. This film was originally produced to be viewed in a Kinetoscope peep-show machine.

A herd of Texas Longhorn cattle --a breed with an "attitude" that has almost vanished from the west -- is driven out of a corral by a cowboy wielding a stick. Many a wrangler was killed or maimed when one of these evil-tempered beasts, sporting horns up to three feet wide, suddenly turned on him without warning. This film was produced to be exhibited in the Kinescope peep-show machine.
