Synopsis

A Guide For Every Visitor To Niagara Falls: Including The Sources Of Niagara, And All Places Of Interest, Both On The American And Canada Side by Frederick H. Johnson. A nineteenth century travel and reference work, this volume serves as a practical guide for tourists visiting Niagara Falls and surrounding regions. It covers both the American and Canadian sides, with detailed directions to Goat Island, the bridge and toll gate, the Centre Fall (Cave of the Winds), Three Profiles, Luna Island, and favored viewpoints such as Prospect Tower, Table Rock, and the Suspension Bridge. The book contains historical anecdotes, safety cautions, local distances and prices for ferries, carriages, and admission fees, and describes Canadian sites like Clifton House, the Museum, and Lundy’s Lane. It also discusses the Falls’ measurements, recession discussions, Indigenous customs, and legends. A substantial Northern Tour section outlines routes to Montreal and Boston via the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. The tone blends travel guidance with historical and geographical context, reflecting mid century urban tourism.
