Inhaltsverzeichnis
Nothing that the western hemisphere can present in the way of a natural wonder, sublime and surpassing in its beauty, equals thip gem in the diadem of nature. Niagara Falls.
No visitor, from Father Hennepin, the first white man who gazed upon the tumult and thunder of its waters, down to the present who, from bridge or bank or brink of precipice, has looked out over the ghost-like mists, the sparkling rainbows, the sloping splendor of greenish water as it rushes over the precipice, or the stupendous wonder of the Whirlpool Rapids, but has sung its praises and told the story of its awesomeness and magnificence. The greatest masters of the English tongue have sung its praises, have painted word-pictures that will live while the cataract itself lasts.
In this work there are presented, by the witchery of the art preservative, views of Niagara in Summer and Winter which depict its beauties more accurately than all the de scriptions of the Falls that were ever written.
