No wonder he sits down in his chair with movements suggestive of nothing but rheumatism and jack-knives, when he is thinking that perhaps there may be some reason why he should not take that particular chair, and that, if there is, he will be ordered up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt
Helen Hunt Jackson was an American poet, writer, and activist born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on October 15, 1830. She became a prominent advocate for Native American rights, using her platform to call attention to the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by the United States government. Jackson is best known for her history A Century of Dishonor, which detailed the adverse effects of government policies on Native Americans. Her activism extended beyond writing, and she worked tirelessly to promote the welfare of Native communities. Jackson's personal life included two marriages first to Captain Edward Bissell Hunt, with whom she had two children, Rennie and Murray, and later to William Sharpless Jackson. She was educated at the Ipswich Female Seminary and had a sister, Anne Fiske. Helen Hunt Jackson passed away on August 12, 1885, in San Francisco, California, at the age of 54, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy for the rights of Native Americans and contributions to American literature.
