Autorenporträt

Lucy Goodale was born in Marlborough, Massachusetts in 1795 and is best known as one of the first Christian missionaries that voyaged to Hawaii in 1819. She initially applied to a newspaper advertisement for volunteers to go to the then-mostly unknown Pacific archipelago. Before leaving New England she married a fellow missionary from New England named Asa Thurston. They would spend the rest of their lives in Hawaii, raising a family and becoming a part of the early history of the islands. Lucy Thurston died in October 1876.
