Ramona : novela americana
A beautiful half Native American, half-Scottish orphan raised by a harsh Mexican ranchera, Ramona enters into a forbidden love affair with a heroic Mission Indian named Alessandro. The pair's adventures after they elope paint a vivid portrait of California history and the woeful fate of Native Americans and Mexicans whose lands and rights were stripped as Anglo-Americans overran southern California.
"If I could write a story that would do for the Indian a thousandth part of what Uncle Tom's Cabin did for the Negro," wrote Helen Hunt Jackson, "I would be thankful the rest of my life." Jackson surpassed this ambition with the publication of Ramona, her popular 1884 romantic bestseller. A beautiful half Native American, half-Scottish orphan raised by a harsh Mexican ranchera, Ramona enters into a forbidden love affair with a heroic Mission Indian named Alessandro. The pair's adventures after they elope paint a vivid portrait of California history and the woeful fate of Native Americans and Mexicans whose lands and rights were stripped as Anglo-Americans overran southern California. Set from the first American edition of 1884, this Modern Library Paperback Classic includes JosE MartI's 1888 prologue (translated from the Spanish by Esther Allen). From the Trade Paperback edition.

Love stories
Franklin Walker, in his Literary history of Southern California (p. 123-124), states that "The literary document most important in its influence on the growth of the Spanish tradition in Southern California was the immensely popular Ramona ... Appearing in 1884, just before the spectacular boom, it created a nation-wide interest in South California, and it served as a sort of romantic guidebook during the tourist rush." According to Gary F. Kurutz, "Ramona did more to promote Southern California than just about any booster publication. Readers mistook her sad story of injustice as a tender love story and as a recreation of a mythical Arcadian paradise. The story of Ramona and her lover Alessandro became a fairy tale and not a message of reform;" see California calls you: the art of promoting the Golden State, 1870 to 1940 (Sausalito, Calif.: Windgate Press, c2000).

Powieść amerykańska
"When a young Ramona falls in love with a handsome Indian, her family turns away from her and the young couple is forced to begin a life as social outcasts." "Mission work among the Indians in California; policy of the United States towards the Indians."*** "A popular presentation of the plight of the mission Indians in California as land-hungry Anglo-Saxons swept over the state." The significance, however, is obscured by a sentimental love story that usurps the foreground." *** "Ramona, a young woman of white and Indian descent, lives a privileged life as a ward on the Moreno ranch, but she is forced out into a world of poverty when she falls in love with Alessandro, a handsome Native American."
Ramona : a story by Helen Hunt Jackson. With illustrations by N. C. Wyeth. Introduction by May Lamberton Becker
A nineteenth-century American novel of true love triumphant, and of a spirited girl of the California Indian country caught between two worlds: the fading Spanish order and the declining Indian tribal communities, beset by the intrusion of white settlers from the east. This great ethical work was and is an extraordinarily popular novel of the Mission Indians of Southern California.
