That same spring, 1870, she was rushed to a local family, where Annie spent two years in conditions close to slavery. Their owners, it was referred to as "wolves". Initially her work was to help courting their young son, with a promise to pay fifty cents a week, and education (neither money nor education there Annie never received).Then she was forced to carry water, cook, clean the house, sewing, caring for animals, and much more. Once hostess drove Annie to frost without shoes as a punishment because she fell asleep on the darn. In his autobiography, Annie recalled:
"All good things gone for months. I got up at four in the morning, had breakfast, milking the cows, feeding calves and pigs, carried water for livestock, feed chickens, put your child to sleep, weeding the weeds in the garden, picking wild blackberries. Then picking potatoes on dinner and cleaned vegetables. Only after that could go on a hunt ... My mother wanted me to go back home. But they did not let me. I was in captivity. They wrote letters to my mother, telling her that I'm happy and I go to school . "...."One night I was given a large basket of clothes that I had a darn. Suddenly" Wolf "hit me in the ears, pinched by the arm and threw me out of the door into the deep snow and shut the door. I had no shoes, and a few minutes later my feet are numb. Slowly I froze. I knelt down and looked in the direction of the blue, God introduced and tried to pray. But lips froze and I did not say a word. "
Even in her autobiography, she never called the real names of the couple. After two years of this life, Annie ran away from the family, and took more than 20 miles until you get to the nearest train station. There she told her story to one person who took pity on her and bought her a train ticket. Thus, Annie returned to her mother. In the spring of 1872, after she was reunited with her family, her mother married a third time, for Joseph Shaw.
Annie continued to earn money for his family by selling the game she shot up to 1875. In that year, Annie went to visit her married sister who lived near Cincinnati.

And when Colonel William Cody, known as Buffalo Bill, the famous hero of the border and then the organizer of the circus show "Wild West", invited Annie, and along with her husband, both without hesitation said yes.
In 1885, the couple began to work with Buffalo Bill and continued to perform with his band for seventeen years. Phone Annie stood in the program immediately after entry. Colonel Cody, whose life was a lot of real desperate skirmishes, was quite subtle psychologist. In order not to scare the children in the audience, he suggested Annie begins performances pistol shooting, and gunpowder charges put a little bit.
