Rating: 5 out of 5

I could not put this book down. The privations endured by women captured by the Sioux were terrible and one can only imagine what they went through after enduring the massacre of their families and friends. It was brought to life by the recollections of Fanny Kelly who had suffered captivity. The story is about those times in our history and about the brave people who travelled in wagon trains in search for a better life. While reading the book I also learned about the many traditions of the Sioux, some of which, such as the scalp dance, Fanny was forced to join in. The book ends with stories about other families who had been massacred and about other women who were captured. Altogether a great story about brave people.
