Note

• The single-volume Pasadena Edition of Ramona was issued by Little, Brown and Company in 1905. Like the publisher's Monterey Edition of 1900, the Pasadena edition included Susan Coolidge's biographical introduction on Helen Hunt Jackson, and Henry Sandham's essay "Notes on Ramona's illustrations," but only 16 of the 24 Sandham illustrations. As James A. Sandos points out in his article "Historic preservation and historical facts: Helen Hunt Jackson, Rancho Camulos, and Ramonana," California history 77, no. 3 (Fall 1998): 168-185: "...only the Monterey Edition contains the full complement of Sandham's illustrations, including two that show details of Camulos's architecturally distinct south portch discussed in the text, entitled 'When he played he sat on the upper step,' and 'Felipe, do you think Alessandro is dead?'" Furthermore, "Prayers, always prayers" was retitled 'He watched her as she walked away' in the Pasadena Edition; see footnote 19 of his article in "Notes [to the articles within this issue]," California history 77, no. 3 (Fall 1998), page 197
