When Frenchmen Charles Blondin became the first daredevil to
tightrope walk across Niagara Falls in June 1859, he opened the
doors of imagination for all sorts of human ingenuity (and
stupidity) for which the Falls became famous for more than a
century. Since that day, Niagara Falls has become ingrained in the
fabric of America's soul, an icon of its all-natural beauty and,
for a long time, its most famous spiritual and tourist hotspot,
cherished for weddings, boat rides and 8 million visitors
mesmerized by the mighty crash of nature's tonic. The Little Book
of Niagara Falls is full of all the waterfall-fun you can think of
– stats, jokes, quotes, notes, stories, icons, and origins – a
tiny tome for your home, maybe even a bedside companion, to inspire
your next quest to America's northeast. Who knows? You may even
take a barrel with you – and go for ride over the side! 'My blood
shudders still, although I am no coward, at the grandeur of the
Creator's power; and I gazed motionless on this new display of the
irresistible force of one of His elements.' John James Audubon The
name Niagara originates from the indigenous peoples, the Iroquoian,
nearby settlement called Onguiaahra – pronounced 'Niagara' –
meaning 'point of land cut in two'.
