""Narrative Of My Captivity Among The Sioux Indians"" is a memoir written by Fanny Kelly, first published in 1856. The book recounts Kelly's experiences as a captive of the Sioux tribe during the mid-19th century. Kelly and her husband were traveling westward to Colorado when they were attacked by a group of Sioux warriors. Her husband was killed, and Kelly was taken captive along with her two children. She spent five months living among the Sioux, enduring harsh living conditions and witnessing the tribe's way of life. Kelly's memoir provides a unique perspective on the Native American experience during a tumultuous time in American history. Her account sheds light on the complex relationships between Native Americans and European settlers during the expansion of the American frontier.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
