This recounts the experiences of 19-year old Fanny after being taken captive by Oglala Sioux warriors from a wagon train near Little Box Elder Creek west of present-day Douglas Wyoming. Although she successfully aided fellow captives Sarah Larimer and her 8-year old son Frank escape the other young girl Mary Hurley was later found scalped and shot with three arrows. The Oglala later traded Fanny Kelly off to the Hunkpapa Sioux who figured prominently in the 1864 attacks against Captain Fisk guiding gold miners in a wagon train to Montana Territory and during a siege featuring Gall and Sitting Bull the Hunkpapa used Fanny to send a note to Fisk. She would later be freed at Fort Sully after negotiations between Jumping Bear and Major Alfred House the commander of the Fort when she darted away from the Blackfeet Sioux through the gates.
