Do you know who named Helen Hunt Falls? Zebulon Pike is fun to read about, but Helen Hunt Jackson is the best! Helen Hunt Jackson had an interesting life, was important to Colorado Springs, and we have some things in common too.

To start, Helen Hunt Jackson has a fascinating background. She was born on October 18, 1830. She had two brothers and one sister. Her mother died in 1844. She died on August 12, 1885.

Also, Helen Hunt Jackson was important to Colorado Springs history. She completed a 56 page report about joining the native and white people together. She married a U.S.A army captain.

Last but not least, Helen Hunt Jackson is dead, but we still have things in common.  We write our own books. We both like waterfalls. We have a library at our house.

Truly, even though there many famous pioneers to pick, I would pick Helen Hunt Jackson. Helen Hunt Jackson had an interesting life, was important to Colorado Springs, and we have things in common too. If you do a report on pioneers, do Helen Hunt Jackson.
