Maria la Ruiz de Burton:

Maria la Ruiz de Burton wrote a book called The Squatter and the Don.She wrote the book with her anonymous name The book was about how the rancheros and rancheras lost their ranchos to many people. For example, the people who came in the “Gold Rush” stole their land because they were staking their claim wherever they wanted. Same thing happened with the Native Americans. When the Native Americans were living in and around California, the 49ers staked their claims on the land the Native Americans were living on. Luckily they got reservations.

Good-Bye!
