Extractions: American writer known for her novel Ramona and her acquaintance with Emily Dickinson Helen Fiske was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, where she went to school with Emily Dickinson. She married an army captain, Edward Hunt, but by 1863 he and her two sons had died and she had turned to writing. In 1875 she married William Jackson. Ralph Waldo Emerson acclaimed Helen Hunt Jackson as 'America's greatest woman poet,' but this opinion is usually now considered over-valued. In fact it is her two prose works championing the Native American cause which have survive the best; the polemical A Century of Dishonor (1881) and the sentimental but highly popular novel Ramona (1884). Even so, it is the connection with Emily Dickinson which has done most to keep Jackson's name alive. The novel Mercy Philbirck's Choice (1876) is generally considered to contain a fictional portrait of her Amherst schoolfriend.

Extractions: 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.

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.

Extractions: Author and Crusader Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885) Helen Hunt Jackson A Century of Dishonor Uncle Tom's Cabin had done for the slaves. The highly romantic and successful 1884 novel Ramona was the result, which told the tragic story of a half-Hispanic woman, her Indian husband, and their fate at the hands of prejudiced whites. To Helen's bitter disappointment, the book did not stir up the same type of popular furor and stimulate reform as Harriet Beecher Stowe's fictional treatment of slavery, and the year after the novel's publication, Helen died of cancer. Her last letter was an appeal to President Grover Cleveland, urging him to read A Century of Dishonor . Helen was born on October 15, 1830. Books by and about Helen Hunt Jackson

Extractions: And South Cheyenne Cañon On December 5, 1872, Nathaniel Colby homesteaded the 160 acres that included the present day Seven Falls and South Cheyenne Ca on. Apparently Colby did not anticipate the potential value of his purchase, for nine months later he sold the patent to the Colorado springs Land company for $1000. Later owners realized little profit from the land until 1882 when James Hull purchased the property for $1300. Mr. Hull was a naturalist who was disturbed to note the scenic beauty of the ca ñon was being threatened by the felling of trees for their lumber value. Hull had already purchased 160 acres west of Seven Falls for $500 and later secured an additional 80 acres by preemption in 1885. With 400 acres including the heart of the cañon Hull became one of Colorado's earliest environmental protectors and the first owner to fully appreciate the true value of this scenic masterpiece. Hull was also a businessman, and he understood the value of the "ranch" as it was then called. He advertised the property as a scenic resort and began to improve it by constructing a road through the cañon to the Seven Falls and building a stairway along the side of the Falls. He installed a toll gate at the foot of the cañon and proceeded to do business. Access to the Falls in those days was largely by carriages, burros and saddle horses furnished by a local entrepreneur named Hunter who paid James Hull and his sons $500 for the privilege of taking passengers to the Falls for 25 cents each. Business flourished and Seven Falls became a prominent tourist attraction.
