Ramona 

Set in Southern California after the Mexican– American War, it depicts the life of a mixed-race Scottish– Native American orphan lady, who suffers racial discrimination and hardship. The story was inspired by the marriage of Hugo Reid and Victoria Reid. A play adaptation has been performed annually outdoors since 1923.

The book’s influence on the culture and picture of Southern California was substantial. Its emotional representation of Mexican colonial life added to developing a special cultural identity for the region. As its publication coincided with the arrival of railway lines in the area, numerous travelers visited who wished to see the areas of the book.

In Southern California, quickly after the Mexican– American War, a Scottish-Native American orphan girl, Ramona, is raised by Señora Gonzaga Moreno, the sis of Ramona’s deceased foster mother. Ramona is referred to as illegitimate in some summaries of the novel, however chapter 3 of the novel says that Ramona’s parents were wed by a priest in the San Gabriel Mission. Señora Moreno has actually raised Ramona as part of the household, providing her every luxury, but just due to the fact that Ramona’s foster mother had actually requested it as her passing away desire. Because of Ramona’s combined Native American heritage, Moreno does not love her. That love is scheduled for her only kid, Felipe Moreno, whom she loves. Señora Moreno identifies as Mexican of Spanish origins, although California has actually recently been taken control of by the United States. She dislikes the Americans, who have cut up her huge rancho after disputing her claim to it.

The head of the Native American sheep shearers is Alessandro, the child of Pablo Assís, the chief of the tribe. Señora Moreno waits for the priest so that the Native American employees can praise and make confession in her chapel before they go back to Temecula.
