	Lorenzo Dow
		BECAUSE THE REV. Lorenzo Dow belongs as much to the national folklore treasury as to that of his native state of Connecticut, it is impossible to associate the hundreds of stories which clustered about him with Nutmeg tradition, alone.
		Dow apparently began his roving ministry while still in his teens, and made his first reputation as a charismatic, hell-fire-and-brimstone orator in areas near his birthplace, like the Hope Valley, in those early years of riding the circuit in eastern Connecticut, where he was one of the first evangelists.
		It should be added that Sally Dow never kept her pre-marriage vow, for she was Lorenzo's constant companion on his wandering journeys, listened without complaint to his long, rambling sermons and proved to be the one true friend he had for the rest of her life.
