Just finished Narrative of My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians by Fanny Kelly.
Published in 1872, about 285 pages.
Mrs. Kelly was in a small wagon train attacked by the Sioux Indians in 1864 with her husband and family (one niece) with several other persons. (less than 25) When the wagon train was attacked, five of the party were killed, several escaped (including her husband) , with the remainder captured. Mrs. Kelley was kept as a prisoner for five months before she was released. Her niece, who was about 8 or 9, was killed a day or two after the capture while trying to escape. It's a fascinating story, very readable.

I can recommend it, but she is witness to some very vicious actions by the Indians she lives with during this period. It's not for the faint of heart.

I read the online version available here -
