I created this page after watching my step-daughter attempt to do research on Seymour Burr for a class project. The information we found was scarce, poorly written and much of it was plagiarized from one site to the next. I also found that asking students to research and represent Mr. Burr at a US middle-school level in a 'Town Meeting' context seems to be a typical lesson plan, and several posts from students indicated that they were having difficulty finding good information for this assignment.

Finding no page on Mr. Burr within Wikipedia yet, I did my best here to sum up what appears to be the accepted information about Mr. Burr from the several sources that I could find, avoiding any direct quotes from those sites. I hope that others will contribute better source information over time now that this page exists.
