As Helen clutches the rail of the ship as it gently rolls through the ocean waves, her mind fills with thoughts of her future in America. While her memories of the past year haunt her nightly, she has no idea that she is the subject of talk on the ship. Everyone wants to know how an unescorted woman has gained access to a first-class cabin and a seat at the captain's table. Helen, who grew up in an affluent family, is traveling to meet her betrothed, Gustav Krueger, who, once she arrives in America, plans to take her to the Dakotas to homestead with him. As her journey leads her away from devastating circumstances in the old country to a new life in a foreign land, she must accept that she will not see those she left behind-including her true love-for a long time, if ever. But when she arrives at the dock and Gustav is not there to meet her, a chain of events unfolds that leave Helen wondering if life in America will demand more of her to survive than she imagined. Helen in America continues a story of perseverance, strength, and determination as a young woman attempts to prevail against all odds in a new land.

Helen Hunt Jackson and Standing Bear

Helen Hunt Jackson and Standing Bear

Chris Enss

On a November night in 1879 in Boston, Massachusetts, a lecture was given by Chief Standing Bear of the Ponca Tribe. It was attended by a forty-nine-year old woman who sat mesmerized as the dignified Indian told of the injustice that had driven his people from their ancestral lands. The next day the woman sent a cable to her husband at home in Colorado explaining that she would be delayed in returning. “Thankful you will be in the east on business next month,” she wrote, “situation with the Ponca Indians necessitates extended time here.” And so began a path that was to thrust Helen Hunt Jackson into the public eye as one of the foremost Indian policy reformers of the 19th century. From that moment in the Brunswick Hotel Jackson was imbued with the indignation that would be the motivating factor in everything she did, thought, or wrote for the rest of her life. “I cannot think of anything else from night to morning,” she wrote in a letter to a friend in 1880. “I shall be found with Indians engraved on my brain when I’m dead. A fire has been kindled within me which will never go out.” Jackson and Chief Standing Bear became fast friends and she used her considerable talents as a writer to pen her most famous work, a book entitled A Century of Dishonor. The book chronicled the injustices perpetrated against Native Americans in the United States after the arrival of European settlers through the famed Indian Wars of the 1870s and their aftermath. Jackson’s friendship with Chief Standing Bear and her daring efforts to publish a book about the broken promises of the United States government made with the Native Americans is a compelling story. During the three years it took Jackson to write the book attempts were twice made on her life. There was a lot of speculation about who tried to kill her, including many politicians who resented her association with Chief Standing Bear and the book she was working on, but no one was ever charged with the crimes.
