Divine Providence: The Wreck and Rescue of The Julia Ann
Springville: Cedar Fort Inc., 2014. First edition. Paperback. 280pp. Many pioneers' journey began long before the trail across the plains. Brigham Young University Professor Fred Woods's quest to learn more of these unheralded "sail before the trail" travels unearthed the little-known story of the Julia Ann, which shipwrecked in 1855. A group of Australian Saints en route to the Salt Lake Valley and other passengers heading for California were on board the Julia Ann that fateful night, and the survivors were stranded with little food and water on an uninhabited Pacific Island.
In Divine Providence, Woods unveils the story of these forgotten immigrants, who were involved in the only documented seafaring crash involving Mormon immigrants that resulted in the loss of human life. Their story will reveal the power of God in the preservation of these Saints' lives and will instill a sense of admiration for their perseverance along the unheralded pathways to Zion.
