Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Power or the Story of Niagara Falls The Falls of Niagara are one of the wonders of the world. The Indians called the place the "Thunder of Waters." Father Hennepin, in Sixteen Hundred Seventy-eight, the first white man to view the Falls, spoke of it as the "most inspiring spectacle" that he had ever seen. The Niagara River is thirty-two miles long, reaching from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. It is twenty miles from Lake Erie to the Falls, and twelve miles from the Falls to Lake Ontario. The Falls were once situated at Lewiston, six miles from Lake Ontario, and have gradually eaten their way back six miles. The progress of the Gorge is well defined and easily followed. As to the length of time that it has taken for the Falls to make this little journey, there is much dispute.
