Isidro is a novel written by Mary Austin and published in 1905. The story is set in the early 19th century in California and follows the life of Isidro, a young Spanish boy who is orphaned and taken in by a wealthy American family. Isidro grows up in a world of privilege and opportunity, but struggles to find his place in a society that is divided by race and class.As Isidro grows older, he becomes increasingly aware of the injustices faced by the native people of California and begins to question his own identity and loyalty. He falls in love with a young Native American woman named Marta and becomes involved in the fight for her people's rights.Throughout the novel, Austin explores themes of identity, cultural conflict, and social justice. Isidro's journey is a reflection of the complex history and politics of California during this time period, and the novel offers a nuanced and thought-provoking perspective on these issues.Overall, Isidro is a powerful and engaging novel that offers a unique glimpse into the history and culture of California. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West or the struggles faced by marginalized communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
