Helen Hunt Jackson and Her Indian Reform Legacy is a detailed
account of the last six years of Jackson's life (1879-1885), when
she struggled to promote the rights of American Indians displaced
and dispossessed by the U.S. government. Valerie Sherer Mathes
places Jackson's work within the larger nineteenth-century Indian
rights movement and details her crusade of traveling, writing, and
lobbying government officials. Jackson's efforts culminated in the
publication of A Century of Dishonor, an indictment of the
government's Indian policy, and the novel Ramona, a sympathetic
portrayal of the plight of California's Mission Indians. Her
influence was felt immediately in the actions of subsequent reform
workers in the Women's National Indian Association, the Indian
Rights Association, and the Lake Mohonk Conference.
