Description

Oakley aims for a Red Cross benefit in New Hampshire

Red Cross benefit event card for the Society Horse Show and Exhibition Shoot, 4.25 x 2.5, held at the Hotel Wentworth Golf Grounds in New Castle, New Hampshire, on July 28, 1917, signed in the lower right in black ink by Oakley. In fine condition. When Oakley and her husband Frank E. Butler weren't instructing and performing at the Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst, North Carolina, the couple headed north during the summer to vacation at the scenic Wentworth Hotel, often wowing staff and patrons alike with special shooting exhibitions. A wonderfully crisp signature from 'Little Miss Sure Shot' with a little-known New England connection.
