About Rancho Camulos
Although Rancho Camulos became well known among Californians for the accomplishments
of three generations of Del Valles in both the political and agricultural history of the state, it is best recognized as the “Home of Ramona.”
When Helen Hunt Jackson published her best-selling novel Ramona in 1884, it was her intention to supply the general reader with an appreciation of the California Indians’ plight as illustrated by the trials and tribulations of the fictional Indian girl, Ramona.
Disappointed that A Century of Dishonor, her earlier book reciting past injustices towards the Indians, received so little notice, she wrote Ramona hoping to elicit popular support for the Indians, much as her acquaintance Harriet Beecher Stowe had done with Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Ramona inspired four motion pictures and a pageant performed annually in Hemet, California, since 1923.
