Learn about the real-life story of Theresa Delaney and Theresa Gowanlock, whose names were on everyone's lips after they were held captive together with seventy-eight other hostages two months in 1885 by the Plains Cree. Rumors circulated about their mistreatment during captivity, but the two women emerged unharmed and insisted that the rumors were unfounded. Despite their firsthand account, the published narrative of their experience, 'Two Months in the Camp of Big Bear', followed the literary conventions of the Indian captivity narrative, creating simplified heroes and villains and contributing to a narrow and one-sided representation of the events of 1885. This book is a complicated legacy of past perspectives that were commonly held by many at the time.

"It is not the desire of the author of this work to publish the incidents which drenched a peaceful and prosperous settlement in blood, and subjected the survivors to untold suffering and privations at the hands of savages, in order to gratify a morbid craving for notoriety. During all my perils and wanderings amid the snow and ice of that trackless prairie, the hope that nerved me to struggle on, was, that if rescued, I might within the sacred precincts of the paternal hearth, seek seclusion, where loving hands would help me to bear the burden of my sorrow, and try to make me forget at times, if they could not completely efface from my memory, the frightful scenes enacted around that prairie hamlet, which bereft me of my loved one, leaving my heart and fireside desolate for ever."
