[1] Very little has been written about Lorenzo Dow. There is an article by
Emily S. Gilman in the _New England Magazine_, Vol. 20, p. 411 (June,
1899), and also one by J. H. Kennedy in the _Magazine of Western History_,
Vol. 7, p. 162. The present paper is based mainly upon the following works:
(1) "Biography and Miscellany," published by Lorenzo Dow, Norwich, Conn.,
1834; (2) "History of Cosmopolite;" or "The Four Volumes of Lorenzo Dow's
Journal concentrated in one, containing his Experience and Travels,"
Wheeling, 1848; (3) "The Dealings of God, Man, and the Devil; as
exemplified in the Life, Experience, and Travels of Lorenzo Dow," 2 vols.
in one. With an Introductory Essay by the Rev. John Dowling, D.D., of New
York. Cincinnati, 1858.
