The Curse of Lorenzo Dow

In 1952 the Georgia Historical Commission erected a marker to commemorate the ghost town of Jacksonboro, Georgia, that many believe met its fate as the result of a preacher’s curse. Established at the seat for Screven County in 1797, it would be gone within fifty years. Known as a rowdy, lawless pioneer town Jacksonboro, Georgia met its match in Lorenzo Dow, one of the country’s first ‘celebrity’ evangelists. It was a community that balked at the thought they needed spiritual saving and refused to let Dow preach in town. In response to their evil ways, Dow placed a curse on the town…Jacksonboro would wither and die from its wickedness. He was right. Help Southern Gothic grow by becoming a Patreon Supporter today!
