Helen Helen Maria Fiske was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, October 15, 1830. Helen's father was a minister, author, and professor of Latin, Greek, and philosophy at Amherst College. By the time she was 17 both of her parents had died.
She became friends with Emily Dickinson, also from Amherst, who may have influenced Helen to begin her writing career as a poet. Their friendship continued during their whole lives, but few of their letters have survived.
At 22, Helen married U.S. Army Captain Edward Bissell Hunt. They had two sons, one of whom, Murray Hunt (1853–1854), died as an infant. A second son Warren age 10 died of diphtheria . In 1863, her husband Edward was killed in an accident occurring during an experiment with one of his own inventions. Helen had lost both parents, two sons, and her husband.
In the winter of 1873–1874 she was in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the resort of Seven Falls, seeking rest in hopes of a cure for tuberculosis. While in Colorado Springs, Hunt met William Jackson, a wealthy banker and railroad executive. They married in 1875 and she took the name Jackson, under which she was best known for her later writings.
She dropped her pseudonym H.H. and started writing books concerning the mistreatment of American Indians. In the first book published under her own name, Helen Hunt Jackson, she condemned state and federal Indian policies. She recounted a history of broken treaties. A Century of Dishonor (1881) called for significant reform in government policy toward Native Americans. Ramona was a novel in which the main character was an Indian who was mistreated by the government. Ms. Jackson became known as an activist for American Indian rights. At that time standing up for Indian rights was not popular.
When Helen Hunt Jackson died in August 1885, her husband, William Jackson had her buried near Seven Falls close to Colorado Springs. Her remains were later moved to Evergreen cemetery in Colorado Springs.
