05 Brink of the American Fall
Brink of the American Fall
The most terrifying sight in the whole panorama of splendor presented by Niagara Falls is to stand on the American side at the brink of the American Fall. The majesty and overwhelming grandeur of the sight can never be forgotten by those who have witnessed it. The line of the precipice over which the Waters sweep is jagged and irregular, and causes the spray to dash out in great spurts as though some titanic hand were tossing the water from hidden depths. Here and there, where the rocks come near the surface, their ebony outlines can be discerned beneath the crystal whiteness of the flood.
