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.
