The memoir chronicles the author's harrowing experiences after being captured by the Sioux Indians during her journey to Idaho, following a deadly attack on her emigrant party in 1864. Through her narrative, Kelly aims to provide an unembellished insight into the customs of the Sioux and the brutal reality of her captivity. At the start of the narrative, Kelly reflects on her early life in Canada and the family’s journey westward filled with hope and promise. However, this tranquility is abruptly shattered when her small contingent is attacked by Sioux warriors, resulting in the massacre of many and her subsequent capture. Kelly vividly describes the chaos of the attack, her separation from her husband and child, and her initial despair as she struggles to survive amidst overwhelming terror in unknown lands. She introduces readers to her companions, notably a little girl named Mary, highlighting the human emotions and relationships that are impacted by their dire circumstances. The opening sets a poignant tone, illustrating Kelly's resilience in the face of adversity while foreshadowing the traumatic events to come during her months in captivity.
