Item description from seller

First edition. Boards lightly soiled and slightly warped, minor wear to jacket corners. 1969 Hard Cover. 184 pp. Color and black-and-white reproductions of historical illustrations and documents throughout. Niagara grew out of the authors' interest in the iconography and history of the area; their concern is not primarily with local history, but with those aspects of Niagara that have made an impact on North America and, at times, the whole western world. The text is contained in sex essays dealing with different aspects of Niagara's history up to the year 1900: each essay is followed by reproductions of paintings, prints, early photographs, and maps, sixteen pages of which are in full colour. More than half of these illustrations are reproduced here for the first time and many of the others are little known even to specialists. The topics covered vary widely, from the War of 1812, the Fenian raids, the building of the suspension bridge, the daredevils who turned Niagara into a stunt arena, to the tourist attractions and steadily increasing commercialization, and the harnessing of the world's greatest supply of water-power.
