Helen Hunt Jackson (October 15, 1830 – August 12, 1885) was an American poet and writer who became an activist on behalf of the improved treatment of Native Americans by the United States government. She described the adverse effects of government actions in her history A Century of Dishonor (1881). Her popular novel Ramona (1884) dramatized the federal government's mistreatment of Native Americans in Southern California after the Mexican–American War and attracted considerable attention to her cause. Commercially successful, it was estimated to have been reprinted 300 times, with readers liking its romantic and picturesque qualities more than its political content. The novel was so popular that it attracted many tourists to Southern California who wanted to see places from the book. This full-length seated portrait of Jackson was taken around 1884, and this albumen print is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution.Photograph credit: Charles F.
