Narrative of My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians is a memoir written by Fanny Kelly, detailing her experiences as a captive of the Sioux tribe during the mid-19th century.

Kelly and her young daughter were taken captive, while her husband and other family members were killed. The book recounts Kelly's time living among the Sioux, including her interactions with various members of the tribe, her struggles to survive in the harsh environment, and her eventual escape. Kelly also provides insight into the customs and beliefs of the Sioux, offering a unique perspective on Native American culture during this time period. Throughout the narrative, Kelly reflects on the trauma of losing her family and being held captive, as well as the ways in which she was able to find strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
