In Colorado Springs her health was restored  her literary career flourished  and the personal losses and grief she had suffered were assuaged by her marriage to William Sharpless Jackson. The town remained her primary residence until her death in 1885.  Although initially reluctant to move to Colorado  she was struck by the beauty around her and became an enthusiaastic spokesperson for the state. She used her considerable literary talents to describe the wonders of her new surroundings. Professor Mark West introduces the modern reader to Jacksons eloquent travel descriptions  fiction  and poetry. These selections were written and published while she lived in Colorado Springs and have as their subject either frontier life in Colorado or the natural beauty of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913993412661,"sku":"ByrdShop_086541064X","price":66.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780865410640.jpg?v=1787328712","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/helen-hunt-jackson-selected-colorado-writings-9780865410640","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
