If I could write a story that would do for the Indian a thousandth part of what Uncle Toms 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 pairs 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 Jos Mart s 1888 prologue (translated from the Spanish by Esther Allen). About the Author: Denise Ch vez , a prolific playwright, poet, and novelist, is the author of Loving Pedro Infante , Face of an Angel , and The Last of the Menu Girls . She lives in New Mexico.
