Lucius Burch was lawyer, explorer and true Renaissance man, his writings are gathered here by some who knew him best. As relevant today as they were when written, each page gives us an insight into the man and his views as he championed unpopular causes and explored the wilderness of the earth, usually on foot, either alone or with those who loved him. Through his writings, gathered here, we can vicariously roam his world and, in days of diminishing private rights, read his thoughts which leave no doubt as to "what would Lucius say?"
