Ramona: A Story (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Ramona: A Story
The story of Romona has become so well known on this continent that few who visit this land of sunshine and flowers but take an interest in the location of the story and the points and incidents that Mrs. Jackson has so vividly pictured. As is generally understood, every incident in the story has fact for its foundation, even down to the minutest detail of the home of the Morenos. Yet we frequently hear the old adobe house at Old Town, San Diego, called "Romona's Home," while Guajome Rancho, about four miles east of San Luis Rey Mission, is called the same; then the Camulos Rancho on the Southern Pacific line to Santa Barbara, sixty miles northwest of Los Angeles, is also pointed out, until the casual visitor to the coast becomes bewildered in the numerous "homes," and interest therein is lessened.
To unravel somewhat the tangle is the aim of this article, and if possible work out the genesis of the story in such a manner as seems necessary for the better understanding of the book. With this thought the writer has made a careful search for any information on the subject obtainable.
If it shall have helped any interested in explaining some of the apparent inconsistencies as to the location of the places, etc., its object will have been accomplished.
