About This Item
Boston, Roberts Brothers, 1892. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. Gray cloth cover clean, a very good copy. Later printing. 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.
