In this work, a predecessor to "Ramona", HH describes the systematic process of segregation, dispossession, and relocation that Native Americans experienced from the late XVIII to the late XIX century. When written, the last conflicts between Native Americans and the US Government were being held. She wrote the book in efforts to fight for the rights of the Natives and to change people's opinions and governmental policies. The Appendix has been left out. - Summary by Mario Pineda
