Synopsis
Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton (1832-1895) was born into a prominent family in Baha, California. Her grandfather, Don Jose Manuel Ruiz, was Governor of Baha. In 1849, she married U.S. Army Captain Henry S. Burton. Her husband died in the Civil War, leaving the author with two young children to raise. She spent years fighting legal battles over lands that she and her husband had owned, battling squatters and government officials much like Don Mariano's family in The Squatter and the Don. Ruiz de Burton's literary works included newspaper articles, a theatrical comedy of Don Quixote , and the novel, Who Would Have Thought It?
