Robert Sheffey, Circuit Riding Preacher
from Stories of Appalachia · host Steve Gilly, Rod Mullins
Today we tell the story of Robert Sheffey, one of Southwest Virginia's most well-known circuit riders. These preachers traveled from one community to the next, bringing the word of God to those who would accept it. There was one town, however, that never accepted Preacher Sheffey's efforts to save it, no matter how hard he tried, so, as the story goes, he laid a curse on this town, rejecting it just as the town had rejected the Lord.
