About the Book

In 1842, Julia Turnau made a diary of her nine-week voyage at sea from Bremen, Germany, to New Orleans. At 23 years of age, she immigrated to the United States to marry a young pastor in St. Louis, Missouri, and to serve the Lord as his wife. Her writing is an interesting and vividly told depiction of her daily life aboard the sailing vessel in the company of the young Rev. Louis Nollau and his wife Louise, who soon became Julia's dear friends. Julia wrote the entries as letters to her family about all that she noticed: her fellow passengers, the changing weather and environment, the threat of a probable pirate ship and the routines and accommodations aboard ship. Unsavory events, harsh conditions, moments of awe and unexpected pleasures were all described in detail. In recorded glimpses, she wondered about her future life in St. Louis as helpmate to her future husband, how different that city life would be from her early life in Germany. Throughout her diary, Julia generously credits the Lord for all His goodness and mercy as the steward of each human soul. She writes with wondrous joy, fervent conviction and devoted purpose.
About the Author: Julia Turnau was a 23-year-old German immigrant who came to the United States to marry the young Reverend Wall. The marriage was arranged by another pastor and friend who, along with his wife, accompanied Julia on the sailing voyage from Bremen to New Orleans and then upriver via steamboat on the Mississippi to St. Louis, Missouri, Julia's new home. Some of her legacy writings were preserved by her family, first in Germany and later in the U.S., and were translated by her sister's grandson, Armin L. Saeger. He in turn passed them along to his own grandchildren. Now, Armin's granddaughter, also named Julia, is the editor and publisher of several historical family texts, including a journal of reflections on Julia Turnau's ancestry in Germany and a memoir by Armin L. Saeger about his own upbringing in the community of Friedens, near St. Charles, Missouri.
