He Appears to walk before me now, As he did that evening, with his white hat, white great coat, thin genteel figure, springy step, And keen, determined eye" George Borrow, Lavengro Tom Belcher (1783-1854) was the younger of two Bristolian brothers who enjoyed great fame At the height of bare fist fighting's popularity.
