Fanny Kelly's memoir, first published in 1872, is an intelligent
and thoughtful narrative. Kelly spent five months as a prisoner of
Ogalalla Sioux in 1864 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.
