Description: Fanny Kelly's memoir, first published in 1872, is an exciting and intelligent story about her five months as a prisoner of Ogalalla Sioux when she was nineteen-years-old. A woman of her time, there was no reason she should feel sympathy toward her captors, but the introduction points out examples of expressed favor toward the Sioux, however unconscious. This narrative is a valuable part of literature not only for its historical importance but its depiction of the conflicting images of Native Americans in the nineteenth century: savage aggressors or victims of prejudice and oppression.
