Additional Description: Hoping to draw attention to the plight of Indians, Helen Hunt Jackson publishes her novel Ramona. Much of her research is conducted in San Diego County, and the fictional parish priest is based on local pastor Father Antonio Ubach. The powerful book heightens sympathy for the American Indian just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin raised awareness of the injustices of slavery thirty years before.
