The Squatter and the Don
María Amparo Ruiz de Burton (as "C. Loyal") · Privately printed, San Francisco — no publisher named on the title page; catalogued as "[S. Carson & Co.]" · 1885
No nineteenth-century book-club or reprint issue documented. The modern recovery editions are the trap and are what most copies offered as this title actually are: Arte Público Press (Houston), first issued 1994 with a second edition in 1997, edited and introduced by Rosaura Sánchez and Beatrice Pita in the "Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage" series (352-page trade paperback, ISBN 9781558851856), plus numerous print-on-demand "annotated" editions. Any ISBN, any named editor, trade-paperback format, or a 352-page collation (versus the original's 421 pp) identifies a modern reprint rather than the 1885 first.
