RAMONA is the story of a part-Indian, part-Scottish girl growing up in mid-Nineteenth century California. Facing discrimination and hardship, Ramona marries but sees her Indian family destroyed as the status of Indians and Californios declines as settlers flood into California.
Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885) was an American author concerned with the plight of Native Americans. Jackson petitioned the government to improve its treatment of the Indians, often writing on the subject. In 1882, she published A CENTURY OF DISHONOR, chronicling the unfair and unjust treatment of Indians at the hands of American settlers and the U.S. Government.
