http://jes.tvusd.k12.ca.us/biography_jackson.htm

Extractions: Helen Hunt Jackson Elementary School image courtesy of the University of Toronto site 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. 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

http://www.cateweb.org/CA_Authors/Jackson.html

Extractions: by Janice Albert Described as "the first novel about southern California," Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson was written to call attention to the plight of the Mission Indians at the hands of the United States government. Instead of sparking indignation, the novel inspired a myth that has indelibly marked the California landscape. Jackson, born 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, came to California following the publication of her work A Century of Dishonor Uncle Tom's Cabin High school students selling Ramona water, Hemet, CA Arriving in 1881, she carried a commission by Century magazine to write a series of five sketches of California life. Lawrence Clark Powell, in his California Classics , tells us that "she journeyed to all of the Missions from San Diego to Sonoma, and she also researched in the Santa Barbara Mission archives and in the historical collection of H. H. Bancroft long before it was sold to the University of California." Additionally, she visited ranches, including Rancho Camulos in Ventura County and Rancho Guajome, near Oceanside in northwestern San Diego County. Her second visit to California came in 1883 when she was appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs by President Chester A. Arthur. In this capacity, she was to report formally on the condition of California's Mission Indians. She traveled with fellow commissioner Abbot Kinney, whose knowledge of Spanish helped them to get by two-horse, double-seated carriage to Indian reservations in the Riverside and San Diego back country.

Extractions: On one of her visits to California, Jackson called the Native Americans she saw "loathsome, abject and hideous." In her novel, she doesn't stray far from this inherent indignation of another race. In fact, she most likely had no idea she was being racist, another reason entirely why this book should be burned. ALternately thorughout the book, Jackson refers to the indians Ramona and ALlesandro encounter as "patient creatures" (16), "poor creatures" (20), "wild creatures" (47), "faithful creatures" (353), "miserable creatures" (324), "vagabond bands" (286) "like beasts" without the Christianizing presence of the Missions (231). are they human? possibly. are they equal to the pastoral spanish who enslaved them that Jackson venerates so much? most definitely not.

Poetry of Liberation 16. Search for Identity In 1873, poor health and respiratory problems prompted Jackson to move to Colorado Springs, where she believed the mountain air would cure her. She soon met and married William Sharpless Jackson, a Pennsylvania Quaker who had made his fortune as a banker in Colorado. Although her new husband was wealthy, Jackson continued to earn an independent living, publishing stories and travel sketches about life in the West. In 1879, while she was visiting Boston, the course of her life and writing was forever changed when she attended a lecture given by Standing Bear, chief of the Ponca tribe, that detailed the abuses that his tribe had suffered at the hands of the U.S. government. Jackson was deeply moved by the Poncas' plight, declaring "I cannot think of anything else from morning to night." Although she had never identified herself with any of the prominent reform movements of the nineteenth century (such as abolitionism or women's suffrage), Jackson became committed to generating public support for Native American rights, devoting the remainder of her life to a crusade for justice for the Indians. In order to lend greater authority to her cause, she did exhaustive research in the Astor Library in New York, where she investigated documents related to United States Indian policy starting from the Revolutionary period. She gathered her findings together into a book

Extractions: HELEN HUNT JACKSON (1830-1885) "Helen Hunt Jackson, the author of Ramona , which appeared in 1884, was an impulsive, attractive, clever woman who called herself "H.H." Emily Dickinson's early friend, she had long been a popular author when she wrote this book, her only work that later times remembered. Her prose and her verse were alike undistinguished till she happened on a theme that stirred her to the depths and electrified her talent for a moment. "H.H." had gone to Colorado in search of health, and the state of the Indians there excited her pity. As she studied their history, the conquest of the Indians by the whites, the old crusading zeal of the Yankee abolitionists [surged in her heart, and] awoke in [her] mind [images] of a later indifferent New England. She thereupon determined to write the romance that paralleled Uncle Tom's Cabin, the book that roused the popular mind to the sorry state of the [enslaved] conquered race and led to a change of policy in dealing with it. Ramona thus became a part of American history. With all its faults, this novel remained, with its high vitality, a popular classic."

Lothrop, Southern California Qtly "With this definitive and eminently readable biography, Kate Phillips reminds us that despite over two decades of impressive achievement by feminist scholars, work remains to be done to resurrect the reputations of important but still-neglected American women writers. . . . Phillips crafts a fascinating personal story of Jackson's life and career while centering that account brilliantly within the larger narrative frames of social and literary history.

Extractions: An Early Advocate of the Native Peoples Helen Hunt Jackson was a woman ahead of her time. Born Helen Fiske in 1830 in Amherst Massachusetts, Hunt-Jackson was a novelist whose work raised eyebrows of controversy as she questioned the actions of the American government in regards to the Native Americans and also fought and petitioned for their rights. She authored two books. "Ramona" (1884) novelized a white man's mistreatment of the Native Indians and her groundbreaking work, "Century of Dishonor" (1881), detailed the government's involvement of violating treaties and disregarding human rights of various tribal communities across the United States. Her 19th century work was one of the first published documentaries advocating for the indigenous peoples, and the criticizing of "white men" and their corrupt involvement in tribal deterioration.
