Clashes between white and Indian societies are erupting into war
when Sarah Wakefield is taken captive in 1862. She is the wife of
an Agency doctor and a known friend of the Sioux. As desperate
Sioux warriors attack the Agency, Sarah falls victim to the
circumstances. In her narrative of the six weeks she is held
captive, she vividly describes her trials, anguish, and pain, both
physically and psychologically. Caught between two cultures, she is
a woman and a mother struggling with a situation thrown upon her
and her family. When she returns to white society, she finds that
her battles are not over yet.With this reprint of the classic
narrative of her survival, readers will come to know the Sioux
culture and appreciate her struggle on the Great Plains. Six Weeks
in the Sioux Tepees is a reprint of the classic narrative of Sarah
Wakefield's survival. Told in her own words, this compelling tale
was a best seller when it was originally published more than one
hundred years ago. Today it offers readers a unique perspective on
Sioux culture and what life was like on the Great Plains in
mid-nineteenth-century America.
