Description

"Ramona" is an 1884 American novel written by Helen Hunt Jackson. Set in Southern California after the Mexican-American War, it portrays the life of a mixed-race Scots-Native American orphan girl, who suffers racial discrimination and hardship. Originally serialized in the Christian Union on a weekly basis, the novel became immensely popular. "In this volume is related for the first time the true story of Helen Hunt Jacksons great American Novel Ramona." The facts and fictions of the romance are distinctively designated and its inspiration and purpose disclosed. The originals of the characters of the novel are identified, and their true names given." Dedication page reads: "To the memory of Helen Hunt Jackson, the most brilliant, impetuous and thoroughly individual woman of American literature" Illustrated with contemporary photographs. 255p. plates, frontis. glossary of Spanish terms. Blind-stamped green cloth with gold lettering on front cover and spine. Some shelf wear to edges and head and foot of spine, front hinge starting and a few pages with water stains at front and rear, otherwise a neat copy.
