		Helen Maria Fiske Hunt Jackson was born on 14 October 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts, the first child of Nathan Welby Fiske, a minister and professor of Latin and Greek at Amherst College, and Deborah Vinal Fiske of Boston.
		Helen Hunt’s first poetry was about the death of her second son and although she would often return to themes of death, grief, solitude, and religious doubt, she also wrote extensively about the natural world--flowers, birds, sunsets, mountains, seasons.
		Jackson was a skilled, prolific, and popular writer during the first ten years of her career, but it was her deep passion for the Indian cause that enabled her to rise above a dozen other contemporary “scribbling women” by writing literature that would last beyond her time.

		Yet Jackson's ability to persevere in the face of adversity actually represented an inheritance not only of her mother's "gift of cheer," important as that was, but also of her father's "habits" of diligence—a legacy that new intellectual influences had perhaps obscured by the time she spoke with Woolsey.
		In fact, Jackson inherited a number of personal characteristics for which she never explicitly gave her parents credit, but which would prove fundamental to her writing career—from the set of attitudes about health that led her continually to travel to her literary inclination itself and a belief that writing should be spiritually uplifting.
