About This Item
Plantin Press for Limited Editions Club, 1959. Limited Edition . Hardcover. Fine. Introduction by J. Frank Dobie. Slipcase has some minor stains, book very fine, signed by Everett Gee Jackson, illustrator. First edition thus. Limited to 1,500 copies. Zamorano Eighty 46: "Ramona, a maudlin, sentimental story is, of course not a great novel. But it is an exceedingly important California book for two reasons. A popular book, it spread the fame of California and no doubt inspired a considerable number of people to migrate here in the nineties and in the first two decades of this century. And, second, by exposing the abuses to which Southern California Indians were subjected, it resulted in numerous wholesome reforms in the administration of Indian affairs. The book continues to sell several thousand copies a year." BAL 10456. Baird-Greenwood 1296. Cowan p. 307n. Johnson, High Spots of American Literature pp. 46-47. Powell, California Classics.
