Diary of Life in New Orleans (September 21, 1884-April 16, 1886) -- Interlude (April 1886-May 1890) -- Diary of Travels in Europe (May 22, 1890-June 23, 1890) -- Newspaper Accounts about Ella Grunewald (July 5, 1890-April 1, 1896).
"The Diary of Ella Grunewald is an edited version of Grunewald's journal, which is part of the Louisiana and Lower Mississippi Valley Collection at LSU's Hill Memorial Library. Expertly annotated and introduced by Hans C. Rasmussen, Grunewald's diary covers her life in New Orleans from 1884 to 1886, when she was an older teenager. Ella was the daughter of Louis Grunewald, one of the Crescent City's leading sheet music publishers and musical instrument dealers. In her journal, Grunewald recorded events concerning her family, friendships, formal schooling, private musical education, and social life. She frequently also describes illness, death, and other tragedies. Although she focuses mainly on the classical music scene in New Orleans, Grunewald includes detailed descriptions of theater shows, Carnival balls and parades, Catholic religious observances, and the World's Fair that the city hosted in 1884. Providing additional context, Rasmussen also includes a shorter journal Ella Grunewald kept of her family's travels in Italy and Germany in the Spring of 1890. In it, she describes visits to Catholic churches, museums, Roman ruins, and other tourist attractions. During the latter part of the journey, she contracted malaria, falling ill when the family reached Verona in mid-June. They traveled on to Austria and Germany, where Ella died in early July at age twenty-two. The Diary of Ella Grunewald documents the day-to-day life of an upper-middle-class teenager in New Orleans at the end of the nineteenth century. As a rare primary source on American and southern girlhood, it is sure to be a valuable resource to historians. It should also appeal to general readers, and especially to teenagers"--
