Mrs. Jackson devoted a whole year of her life to writing and compiling materials for "A Century of Dishonor," and while thus engaged she mentally resolved to follow it with a story which should have for its motif the cause of the Indian. After completing her "Report on the Condition and Needs of the Mission Indians of California" (see Appendix, p. 458) she set herself down to this task, and "Ramona" is the result. This was in New York in the winter of 1883-84, and while thus engaged she wrote her publisher that she seemed to have the whole story at her fingers' ends, and nothing but physical impossibility prevented her from finishing it at a sitting. Alluding to it again on her death-bed, she wrote: "I did not write Ramona;' it was written through me. My life-blood went into it, -all I had thought, felt, and suffered for five years on the Indian question."

The Racial Prospect is a revised and expanded version of the book Mankind, written by Seth King Humphrey. The book delves into the complex issue of race and explores the prospects for racial harmony in modern society. The author argues that race is a social construct that has been used to divide people and create inequality. He proposes a new way of thinking about race that emphasizes the common humanity of all people.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of race. The first section provides an overview of the history of race and racism, tracing its roots back to colonialism and slavery. The second section examines the biology of race and challenges the notion that there are distinct biological races.The third section explores the social and cultural aspects of race, looking at how race is constructed and perpetuated through social institutions like education, media, and politics. The fourth section examines the prospects for racial harmony in modern society, looking at the challenges and opportunities that exist.Throughout the book, the author draws on a wide range of sources, including scientific research, historical analysis, and personal anecdotes. He also includes a series of practical recommendations for individuals and institutions seeking to promote racial harmony.Overall, The Racial Prospect is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about race and work towards a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
