New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1972. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine / Very Good. Item #009058
The Rivers of America Series. Full tan cloth. xvii, 294 pp. B&W illustrations in text. Dust jacket is lightly edge worn with a few short tears and some chips to spine foot, with some tape repairs. Though Niagara Falls has been a popular honeymoon resort and tourist attraction for more than a century, little is generally know about it's source, the Niagara River - 35 miles of the most turbulent "white water" in North America. The Niagara is not only a superb addition to the Rivers of America series, it is also a documented account of how "civilized" men took one of America's most beautiful rivers from the "savage" Indians because "they were not using it," and what happened to it in the name of progress.
