JJ Lopez & Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona - 1884 - 2024

I wasn't going to do a video of Ramona, there are plenty already on YT, but when I read JJ's experience with Helen Hunt Jackson, it gave it a different point of view. I've known about the Ramona story for many years, and Rancho Camulos. I didn't know much about Helen Hunt Jackson. When I began researching her, I was quite fascinated with her life and writings. Several of her stories are on YT with audio versions. the 1910 and 1928 silent movie versions are both on YT as well. Again, I used my Dear Friend Cristina's music to enhance your viewing experience. :-) Her link is below. I also posted a link to 2 parts of the Ramona book on audio from YT, a short presentation of Helen Hunt Jackson, as well as a link to information about the Pageant in Hemet.
The 1st 4 paragraphs are from Saga of El Tejon, and JJ Lopez. The rest I wrote. I also put a little synopsis of the story below. I hope you enjoy the video.

Ramona, the young, half-breed ward of an oppressive California sheep rancher, realizes that her indigenous blood has impeded her life's happiness. Eloping with Indian chieftain Alessandro, Ramona seeks a new life embracing her heritage, but endures tragedy and loss before tenderness and affirmation re-emerge as possibilities.

Excellent presentation, Dave! I have seen the movie. I have also attended the Ramona Pageant in southern Cali. I really enjoyed it! I have the "Annotated Ramona"; The full text of Helen Hunt Jackson's "Ramona" by Antoinette May. I have some photos of it and the area somewhere. It is an interesting story as well as history. (Ramona from Pomona! An old expression! 😊) A wonderful soundtrack by Cristina. You brought back memories! Thanks a bunch for sharing! Have a nice weekend!

[@Dave49erman]

Thank-You very much Laura from Cristina and I!! That's so cool that you've seen the performance of this amazing story. I had never heard anything of JJ Lopez's story of helping to inspire Mrs. Jackson. I'm glad I gave you some nice memories, I also learned a lot regarding the circumstances how Ramona came to be. Enjoy your weekend!! 🙂

What a great video, Dave….such interesting stories and well presented by you. Enjoyed listening to it, friend. :) Janet

[@Dave49erman]

Thank-You very much Janet from Cristina and I! I'm still digging into my local history. I hope you're doing well! Older age isn't much fun. 😞My mom's dealing with a few issues, so that means I am. I didn't know I can do nursing duties!! We had good RAIN again this year, I can still work in the garden, but old age definitely slows me down. Best wishes to you and Bill!! 🙂

[@onewomanandsomesongs]

@@Dave49erman I hear ya, friend. I’ll be 70 years old in August, and I can definitely feel it. Glad to hear your mom is doing okay, considering. You’ve always taken such good care of her.

[@Dave49erman]

@@onewomanandsomesongs Thanks Janet! I'm 67, I can't imagine making it to 91 like my mom. I get too tired. She has another skin cancer, they'll do the surgery on May 9th. I guess it's better it's on the outside eh? Not such a drastic surgery! Take Care!

[@onewomanandsomesongs]

@@Dave49erman Wishing your mom a good recovery, my friend, :)
