Helen+Hunt+Jackson



Helen Jackson was an accomplished writer who publicized //A Century of Dishonor// in 1881. The book protested the government's broken treaties and promises and stated, "It makes little difference ...where one opens the record of the history of the Indians; every page and every year has its dark stain". Jackson inspired those who where also horrified by the governments policies and it formed a growing peace movement.
