'Neath the sunset, in the West,
Clover-blossoms on her breast.
Lover of each gracious thing
Which makes glad the summer-tide,
From the daisies clustering
And the violets purple-eyed, To those shy and hidden blooms Which in forest coverts stay, Sending wandering perfumes Out as guide to show the way, All she knew, to all was kind; None so humble or so small That she did not seek and find Silent friendship from them all. Moss-cups, tiarella leaves, Dappld like the adder's skin, Fungus huts with ivory eaves Which the fairies harbor in, Regiments of fronded ferns, Golden-rod and asters frail, Every flaming leaf that burns Red against the autumn pale, Every pink-cupped wayside rose, All to her were dear and known; But above them all she chose Clover-blossoms for her own. So they laid her to her rest In the sun-warmed, bounteous West, Clover-blossoms on her breast.

Born 1830 Died 1885
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.

Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885)
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.
Helen Hunt-Jackson created a national uproar, but still championed her cause and challenged those who opposed her - including Theodore Roosevelt.
A long-time friend of Emily Dickinson, the dauntless novelist spent countless hours lecturing those who wanted and needed to hear of the true history – and current plight – of the Native people, and even petitioned for laws and rights on their behalf.

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

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

SEPTEMBER by: Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885)
    HE golden-rod is yellow;
    The corn is turning brown;
    The trees in apple orchards
    With fruit are bending down.
    The gentian's bluest fringes
    Are curling in the sun;
    In dusty pods the milkweed
    Its hidden silk has spun.
    The sedges flaunt their harvest,
    In every meadow nook;
    And asters by the brook-side
    Make asters in the brook.
    From dewy lanes at morning
    The grapes' sweet odors rise;
    At noon the roads all flutter
    With yellow butterflies.
    By all these lovely tokens
    September days are here,
    With summer's best of weather,
    And autumn's best of cheer.
    But none of all this beauty
    Which floods the earth and air
    Is unto me the secret
    Which makes September fair.
    'T is a thing which I remember;
    To name it thrills me yet:
    One day of one September
    I never can forget.

DOUBT by: Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885)
    HEY bade me cast the thing away,
    They pointed to my hands all bleeding,
    They listened not to all my pleading;
    The thing I meant I could not say;
    I knew that I should rue the day
    If once I cast that thing away.
    I grasped it firm, and bore the pain;
    The thorny husks I stripped and scattered;
    If I could reach its heart, what mattered
    If other men saw not my gain,
    Or even if I should be slain?
    I knew the risks; I chose the pain.
    O, had I cast that thing away,
    I had not found what most I cherish,
    A faith without which I should perish,
    The faith which, like a kernel, lay
    Hid in the husks which on that day
    My instinct would not throw away!

    A Brief History of the Famous
    SEVEN FALLS
    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.
