Description
A famous account of abduction and escape from hostile Indians in the old West

In July, 1864 hostile Oglala Sioux Indians attacked the wagon train of the pioneering Kelly and Larimer families approximately 80 miles west of Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Several people were killed or wounded but Sarah Larimer and Fanny Kelly, together with some of their children, were taken into captivity by the Indians. On the second night of their captivity Sarah Larimer and her son managed to escape from the Indian camp and after many difficulties and privations they reached the Deer Creek telegraph station and safety. This book is Sarah Larimer's story of her ordeal. Fanny Kelly's captivity with the Sioux lasted longer and on her release she also wrote a book about her experiences. She also sued Sarah Larimer over her memoir and several trials took place over ten years before the matter was settled. Fanny Kelly's book entitled, 'My Captivity among the Sioux Indians, ' is also available in a Leonaur edition, and is equally valuable source material for students of the subject. The two books provide fascinating insights into the westward passage of pioneer families in North America, and those interested in the Indian tribes of the Great Plains during their struggle to maintain their traditional way of life will also find much to interest them in the pages of these books.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
