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.

Excerpt from Four Days at Niagara Falls, in North America Having crossed a creek, which I had been told was within eight or ten miles of The Falls, I leaned once more over the open side of our stage, and beheld, not without emotion, ascending in two columns, what Mrs. Butler has so beautifully characterized as "The everlasting incense of the waters." Their appearance resembled that of smoke; and, elsewhere, I should have regarded them as traces of the backwoodsman in the forest. At the same moment I heard a soft deep murmur; - it was the unceasing voice of The Falls which stole upon my ear. The road diverges from the river before approaching the village of Chippaway; an uninteresting drive of three or four miles farther, brought us to the "Pavilion." To the observer, from this elevated position, The Falls, both British and American, with part of the rapids, suddenly reveal themselves. Though not the finest view that may be obtained, yet it impressed me beyond all expectation. I had sensations of delight such as I never before experienced, and gave evidence of them by exclamations, such as I believe never before escaped me.

Excerpt from The Duration of Niagara Falls: And the History of the Great Lakes To the encouragement of Prof. J. P. Lesley, State Geologist of Pennsylvania, is largely due the author's interest in the investigations into the history of Niagara Falls and the Great Lakes, chapters of which have appeared from time to time in the leading scientific journals, the first of which was printed in the proceedings of the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, in 1881. Since that time more complete chapters have appeared. These have been compiled into their natural (although not appearing in their chronolgical) sequence owing to the profound interest taken in research by Andrew H. Green, Esq., the president of the Commissioners of the State Reservation at Niagara, and are here published in order to give a scientific history of the great cataract of the world, so that the information may extend beyond the limit of a few specialists. The full history of the lakes has not yet been told, but enough is known to write a somewhat complete story of the Falls. To Mr. F. B. Taylor is due a special acknowledgment, among other contributions, for having recently given us details of the drainage of the Huron basin by way of the Nipissing Straits and the Ottawa valley before the waters of the upper lakes changed their drainage to the Niagara river, and thus accelerated the recession of the Falls.
