The Home of Ramona: Photographs of Camulos, the fine old Spanish Estate described by Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson, at the home of "Ramona." Los Angeles, CA: Chas. F. Lummis & Co., 1888. Obl. 5.5 x 9 in., ribbon-tie binding, 14 leaves with text printed on one side, plus 10 cyanotypes inserted. Helen Hunt Jackson published Ramona in 1884, hoping it would bring attention to the plight of California Indians the way Uncle Tom's Cabin did for the plight of slaves. Although the people and places in the book were supposed to be fictional, Rancho Camulos was in the exact location and setting described for Ramona's "Moreno Ranch," and quickly became a tourist destination. Capitalizing on the immediate popularity of the book, Lummis published this little "souvenir" of the house and environs.
