Answer 1

Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson

This book, published in 1884, was a description and celebration of Spanish and Mexican culture in California. However, these depictions were largely made-up and romanticized. Despite this, it created a tourist boom for the state, causing Americans to become interested and excited about California.
