Ramona, continuously in print for over a century, has become a cultural icon, but Jackson's prolific career left us with much more, notably her achievements as a prose writer and her work as an early activist on behalf of Native Americans. This long-overdue biography of Jackson's remarkable life and times reintroduces a distinguished figure in American letters and restores Helen Hunt Jackson to her rightful place in history.".

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.

Best known for the books A Century of Dishonor and Ramona, Helen Hunt Jackson was revered for her depictions of social issues facing the West at the end of the nineteenth century. At a time when women writers were still uncommon, her work spanned two decades and ranged from anonymous pieces of travel writing to poetry, romantic fiction, childrens literature, and parenting advice. She rose to fame, however, not through popular literature but through tracts, novels, and articles on the social and living conditions of Native Americans after a century of dealing with the U.S. government and American settlers.
