Quot;The Horrors of Indian Captivity: Narrative Of My Captivity Among The Sioux Indiansquot; by Fanny Kelly is an inside look at what captivity among the wild tribes of the Great Plains was like, by someone who experienced it first hand. Fanny Kelly (1845-1904) was born in Canada and moved as a child to Kansas where she married Josiah Kelly. Josiah#39;s health began to fail and he hoped that a change of climate would aid it. So Josiah, Fanny, her seven-year-old niece, and adopted daughter, Mary Hurley, along with two quot;colored servantsquot;--Franklin and Andy--set out in May 1864 from Geneva, Kansas for the region that is now Idaho or Montana. Their small wagon train was attacked by Sioux Indians and Fanny and Mary were taken captive. The book is devoted to Fanny#39;s adventure and travails among the Sioux during her more than 5 month captivity. She details the Sioux way of life, habits, ceremonies, and savage customs.
