 NSLA - Historical Myth a Month - MYTHS AND REALITIES:
Phil Brigante, historian of the Ramona Pageant, which is near Hemet, California, in the San Jacinto Valley, used Helen Hunt Jackson's 1884 novel, Ramona, to illustrate how myths originate in popular culture and Brigante pointed out that Jackson wrote Ramona with the intention that it would become the Uncle Tom's Cabin of the American Indian.
Proof of its vitality is the fact that the pageant was first presented in 1922 and remains a powerful attraction today.
In Brigante's study, the motivation was economic and Ramona became the focus because it possessed the necessary elements to feed the nascent southern California tourism industry.
