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.
