	H-Net Review: Eileen V. Wallis on Helen Hunt Jackson: A Literary Life
		Helen Hunt Jackson (who never used both surnames during her lifetime, instead using "Helen Hunt," "H.H.," or a variety of pseudonyms) was an intensely private woman who asked friends and relatives to burn her letters and unfinished manuscripts.
		An examination of Jackson as travel writer is vital to understanding her later novels, Phillips argues, because it was here that Jackson first developed her critique of the effects of industrialization on rural America.
		Unfortunately, it was also in her travel writing that Jackson developed the characteristic for which she has since received so much criticism: her portrayal of American Indians, other minorities, and foreigners alike as charming, simple men and women somehow more in touch with the primitive than contemporary white Americans.
