A novel, from 19th century American author and activist Helen Hunt Jackson, concerning the life of an orphaned Scottish-Native American child.
Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-1885) was a relentless and effective activist for America's indigenous native people.
She gave a copy her polemical "Century of Dishonor" to every member of Congress and lobbied as well.
But "Ramona" is probably her most enduring work going through numerous editions and remains a popular theatrical entertainment.
Southern California became a tourist destination, as many people wanted to see the locations featured in the book.
, hence this elaborate tourist edition was created in 1913.
