Book Description
Excerpt from History of Niagara (in Part) A few words in explanation. This is not the story of Niagara now. My work for years appears to have been not to exploit the present but to try to do justice to those who have gone before, to tell of the noble work they aecom plished and of the difficulties they surmounted. It must be seen that, though' so much has been gathered, still much remains untold. For this reason I have placed the words In Part following the words History of Niagara, hoping that others may take up the work. It will be seen that much has been drawn from my papers read before Historical Societies, but by far the greater part of the book has never before appeared in print, and the same can be said of the illustrations, about fifty in number. These also are from various sources and of many styles reproductions of old miniatures, oil paintings, water colors, silhouettes, old-fashioned daguerreotypes and the modern kodak print. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Niagara Falls and Their History The rains that make its oods dislodge particles of soil, and wash them into the tributaries in such multitude that they discolor the water. The pebbles of its bed and the mud with which it is discolored are the river's load, which it transports from the face of the land to the bed of the sea. The tributaries of Niagara carry their loads only to the lakes, where the loads sink, and leave the water pure. Thus Niagara is ever clear. Sometimes, when storm waves lash the shores of Erie, a little sand is washed to the head of the river, and carried downstream; sometimes a little mud is washed into the river by the small creeks that reach its banks. Thus Niagara is not absolutely devoid of load, but its burden is so minute that it is hard to detect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Niagara Region in History Catholic church as they carried the gos pel to the various Indian tribes in the unknown wilderness. To this region came the French, first Officially in the person Of La Salle; afterwards, by their armies, seeking conquest and the con trol of the fur trade. At the mouth Of the Niagara river the French established one Of their most important posts. There they traded with, conferred with and intrigued with the Indians, making firm friends of some Of the tribes and bitter enemies of Others; and during the fourscore years that France held sway on the American continent, this region was a famous part ter domain in the new world. Later on, steadily but surely driving the French before them, and finally totally depriving them Of their posses sions, came the English. Shortly after England became the undisputed owner of the region, the American Revolution began, and within twenty years after England had dispossessed France of this famous territory, she herself was compelled to recognize a new nation.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Brief History of Old Fort Niagara And during the long period above referred to when France and England were making every effort to gain control of this locality, the fur traders rendered valuable services in furtherance of the ambitions of their respective nations, although, of course, these fur traders' object was a purely mercenary one. But the Indians, prompted thereto partly by the always enduring feuds between the Huron and Iroquois stocks, but mainly by their keen insight into the real ambitions of the white men faithful and friendly to the French and the English alternately, but only as fear of their strength or benefits to be derived from them impelled clearly foresaw the danger to their race if a stronghold was ever obtained at the portage, and persistently refused to allow one to be erected; and it was only after a struggle of 50 years that France succeeded in getting near this spot a fortified structure, that prom ised to be, and though soon after removed seven miles distant to the mouth of the river, proved to be, a permanency.

Excerpt from Historical Sketch of Niagara: From 1678 to 1876 A residence of more than sixty years by the narrator, and a much longer acquaintance of his father with all Western New York, and especially with this part of it, enables him to speak, with a degree of confidence, of matters of interest, some of which have become indistinct and confused in the public mind.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Niagara River The Niagara river flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. The shore of Erie is more than 300 feet higher than the shore of Ontario; but if you pass from the higher shore to the lower, you do not descend at a uniform rate. Starting from Lake Erie and going northward, you travel upon a plain not level but with only gentle undulations until you approach the shore of Lake Ontario, and then suddenly you find yourself on the brink of a high bluff or cliff overlooking the lower lake, and separated from it only by a narrow strip of lping plain. The birds-eye view in Plate I is constructed to Show the relations of these various features, the two lakes, the broad plateau lying a little higher than the shore of Lake Erie, the cliff, which geologists call the Niagara Escarpment, and the narrow plain at its foot. Where the Niagara river leaves Lake Erie at Buffalo and enters the plain, a low ridge of rock crosses its path, and in traversing this its water is troubled; but it soon becomes smooth, spreads out broadly, and indolently loiters on the plain. For three-fourths of the distance it can not be said to have a valley, it rests upon the surface of the plateau; but then its habit suddenly changes. By the Short rapid at Goat Island and by the cataract itself the water of the river is dropped 200 feet down into the plain, and thence to the cliff at Lewiston it races headlong through a deep and narrow gorge. From Lewiston to Lake Ontario there are no rapids. The river is again broad, and its channel is scored so deeply in the littoral plain that the current is relatively slow, and the level of its water surface varies but slightly from that of the lake.

Book Description
Excerpt from Studies of the Niagara Frontier For the source books relating to the Niagara region London is, I think, the best hunting-ground, though the continental dealers are sometimes eccentric in their valua tion, and occasionally ofier rare works at lower prices than the leading dealers of London would consider just. The New York market is at times good, but never cheap; and always the book-auction is the collector's opportunity.
