I've seen her birth year listed as 1830 and her pseudonym as H. H. H. Is the article wrong? 69.47.185.144 16:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Helen Hunt Jackson was indeed born in 1830, not 1831. She used the names H.H. (not H.H.H.), Saxe Holm, and Helen Jackson in her published works. She has become known as Helen Hunt Jackson, though she never used this name during her life.

Why is the politically correct term "Native American" used in the first sentences and then later the text returns to the extremely politically incorrect term "Indian" which clearly does not in any way represent the people who's cause Helen Hunt Jackson fought for? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.75.246.217 (talk) 10:36, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Peaceray, I initially questioned the addition of this book in Further reading, too, but I think that there is some information there that is helpful regarding how Jackson helped to inform readers of the true plight of Native Americans in the 19th century. So, I am going to return the book. Am I missing something?–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:52, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CaroleHenson: Hello, I reverted a dozen of 2601:193:8300:50B0:A8E3:15C4:1824:4E5D's first 13 edits. These were done in the span of twenty minutes, which gave me a strong suspicion of WP:BOOKSPAM. I first became aware of it due to this edit on Ely S. Parker, which was misplaced in the See also section.

If you are familiar with Redman, Samuel (2021). Prophets and Ghosts: The Story of Salvage Anthropology. Cambridge: Harvard University Press., then I defer to you. However, if you are not familiar with the book, I would ask you to consider it as book spam based on the IP editor's behavior. Peaceray (talk) 05:51, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peaceray, Gotcha. There are other sources for this info, so leaving it out is fine by me.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:04, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
