Helen Hunt Jackson's passionate crusade for Indian rights comes to life in this collection of more than 200 letters, most of which have never been published before. With Valerie Sherer Mathes's helpful notes, the letters reveal the behind-the-scenes drama of Jackson's involvement in Indian reform, which led her to write A Century of Dishonor and her protest novel, Ramona.
Ralph Waldo Emerson described Jackson as the -greatest American woman poet.- These stirring letters will intrigue anyone interested in Indian affairs, nineteenth-century women's studies, or the social history of Victorian America, where Jackson made her mark despite the restrictions on women. Among her correspondents were Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Moncure D. Conway, Henry B. Whipple, Henry L. Dawes, Henry Teller, Carl Schurz, and of course, commissioners of Indian affairs and such prominent editors as Whitelaw Reid, Charles Dudley Warner, and Richard Watson Gilder.
The letters are presented in sections on the Ponca and Mission Indian causes, allowing readers to focus on the time period and Indian group of choice.

Описание: Plot summary In Southern California, shortly after the Mexican-American War, a Scots-Native American orphan girl, Ramona, is raised by Senora Gonzaga Moreno, the sister of Ramona's deceased foster mother. Ramona is referred to as illegitimate in some summaries of the novel, but chapter 3 of the novel says that Ramona's parents were married by a priest in the San Gabriel Mission. Se ora Moreno has raised Ramona as part of the family, giving her every luxury, but only because Ramona's foster mother had requested it as her dying wish. Because of Ramona's mixed Native American heritage, Moreno does not love her. That love is reserved for her only child, Felipe Moreno, whom she adores. Senora Moreno considers herself a Mexican, although California has recently been taken over by the United States. She hates the Americans, who have cut up her huge rancho after disputing her claim to it. Senora Moreno delays the sheep shearing, a major event on the rancho, awaiting the arrival of a group of Native Americans from Temecula whom she always hires for that work. She is also awaiting a priest, Father Salvierderra, from Santa Barbara. She arranges for the priest so that the Native American workers can worship and make confession in her chapel, rather than leaving the rancho. Ramona falls in love with Alessandro, a young Native American sheepherder and the son of Pablo Assis, the chief of the tribe. Se ora Moreno is outraged, because although Ramona is half-Native American, the Se ora does not want her to marry a Native American. Ramona realizes that Senora Moreno has never loved her and she and Alessandro elope. Alessandro and Ramona have a daughter, and travel around Southern California trying to find a place to settle. In the aftermath of the war, Alessandro's tribe was driven off their land, marking the beginning of European-American settlement in California. They endure misery and hardship, for the Americans who buy their land also demand their houses and their farm tools. Greedy Americans drive them off from several homesteads, and they cannot find a permanent community that is not threatened by encroachment of United States settlers. They finally move up into the San Bernardino Mountains. Alessandro slowly loses his mind, due to the constant humiliation. He loves Ramona fiercely, and regrets having taken her away from relative comfort in return for "bootless" wandering. Their daughter "Eyes of the Sky" dies because a white doctor would not go to their homestead to treat her. They have another daughter, named Ramona, but Alessandro still suffers. One day he rides off with the horse of an American, who follows him and shoots him, although he knew that Alessandro was mentally unbalanced. Biography She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, Nathan Welby Fiske and Deborah Waterman Vinal. She had two brothers, who died shortly after their birth, and one sister, Anne. His father was a Protestant pastor, writer and professor of Latin, Greek and Philosophy at Amherst College. His mother died in 1844 and his father in 1847, leaving her in the care of an aunt. Until then, he had provided her with a good education: she had attended the Ipswich Women's Seminary and the Abbott Institute, an institution headed by Reverend J.S.C. Abbott in New York. She was a classmate of the future poet Emily Dickinson, also born in Amherst. They exchanged a correspondence all their lives, but few of their letters have been preserved. In 1852 Helen Fiske married Captain Edward Bissell Hunt of the United States Army, who died in a military accident in 1863. Their son Murray Hunt died in 1854 of a cerebral disease; The second, Rennie Hunt, died of diphtheria in 1865. Helen Hunt began writing after this last loss. She traveled a great deal. During the winter of 1873-74 she went to Colorado Springs to treat tuberculosis. She met William Sharpless Jackson, a rich banker who worked on the railways, and they married in 1875.
