Description

Pierre Berton (au). This epic history of Niagara Falls (NF) is crammed with heroes & villains, eccentrics & daredevils, scientists & power brokers, artists & charlatans. From Father Louis Hennepin, who wrote the first published description of NF 3 centuries ago, to Marilyn Monroe, from tightrope walker Signor Farini to Henry Perky, the inventor of Shredded Wheat, the book shows how “the noble cataract” has cast its spell on individuals of all nationalities from all walks of life. Here, too, are engrossing stories of the NF’s natural history, from its formation through its backward movement over 12 thousand years. “Surprising, rich & engrossing.” Illustrated.
