Helen Hunt Jackson "As soon as I began, it seemed impossible to write fast enough I wrote faster than I would write a letter two thousand to three thousand words in a morning, and I cannot help it." Helen Hunt Jackson describing her writing of "Ramona" Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885), activist for Native American rights and author of Southern California’s most enduring historical romance novel Ramona, was born and reared in Amherst, Massachusetts, a schoolmate and friend of the woman who would become Amherst’s most celebrated resident, poet Emily Dickinson. (Born Helen Maria Fiske, Jackson would be twice married: first to U.S. Army Capt. Edward B. Hunt who died in a military accident, then to William S. Jackson, a wealthy banker and railroad executive.) Jackson grew up in a literary environment, and using a pseudonym (H.H.H), was herself a noted poet and writer of children’s stories, novels and essays before turning her considerable intellect and energy to investigating and publicizing the mistreatment of Native Americans, especially the Mission Indians of Southern California. Her interest in the subject began in Boston in 1879 at a lecture by Chief Standing Bear who described the forcible removal of the Ponca Indians from their Nebraska reservation. Jackson was incensed by what she heard and began to circulate petitions, raised money, and wrote letters to the New York Times on the Poncas’ behalf. As one observer noted, she became a "holy terror." (Friends and critics have variously described her as "passionate," "volatile," "defiant" and "uncompromising." Historian Antoinette May said she "lived a life that few women of her day had the courage to live.") Jackson also began work on a book condemning the government’s Indian policy and its record of broken treaties. When

Helen Hunt Jackson on the Web Comparatively little is found of Helen Hunt Jackson's writing on the Web. She is primarily known for two full length books on Native Americans, the novel Ramona and the non-fiction work A Century of Dishonor . However, the influence of these two works is easily seen today. The novel's popularity has resulted in a permanent influence on the geography of southern California. Inland from San Diego, it is impossible to drive far without encountering the name Ramona on streets and major highways. The small city Ramona was renamed in 1884 after the heroine of the novel. The Palo Alto Historical Association notes that Ramona Circle and Ramona Street were both named for the novel's heroine. The book is listed in Traditional Classics in Children's Literature. However, the other book, A Century of Dishonor , had a more far reaching effect on American politics, chronicling the treatment of the Native Americans by the U.S. government. For many years Ms. Jackson circulated tracts and petitions in support of Indian causes. She went on nationwide lecture tours and challenged Theodore Roosevelt to a discussion of the condition of the Indians in America. After the uproar caused by the publication of A Century of Dishonor , Ms. Jackson was appointed a special commissioner to investigate conditions for the Indians in California.

Helen Hunt Jackson Writer, activist for Native Americans As expressed in her devastating criticisms of federal Indian policy and white-Indian relations in A Century of Dishonor and the novel Ramona, Helen Hunt Jackson was one of the most influential defenders of Native American rights in late 19th-century America. Introduction In 1852, the vivaciously volatile Helen Fiske married U.S. Army captain (later major) Edward Bissell Hunt, brother of a former New York governor. For the next 11 years, she and her husband, an accomplished engineer officer, followed the typically mobile life of a career military family. These years were marked by deep personal tragedy. Jackson's first child Murray died in 1854 of a brain disease when he was less than a year old. In 1863, her husband suffocated while experimenting with an innovative underwater naval vessel or weapon of his own design. Two years later, her other son "Rennie" succumbed to diphtheria. In 1865, the year the Civil War ended, Jackson was alone and grief stricken. After a brief period of mourning, however, the resilient Jackson was eager to embark upon a new life. Having demonstrated no substantial evidence of the literary ability and reform interest that soon would shape her public career, in 1866 she took up residence in Newport, Rhode Island, where she and her husband had previously been stationed and which was "reputed to have more authors than any other city in the country," according to historian Antoinette May in her book

On October 22, 1875 they were married. Since childhood, Helen had been interested in the Native Americans. Her book, A Century of Dishonor , published in 1881, was a historical account of the U.S. government's mistreatment of the Native Americans. In June of 1884 a severely fractured leg left Jackson a cripple. Even though she was handicapped she went to visit her Hispanic friends in California. Helen was always hopeful up till the day she died.
