May 29, 2018 14 eBooks about Niagara Falls May 29, 2018/ Gwen Morrison In May, I found lots of books about Niagara Falls on Internet Archive and I’m featuring 14 of them in this post. They are free – easily viewed online with the lines I’ve provided. The books are from a Canadian collection of books (Brock University) and range from 1843 to 1922. There were three from the 1840s – showing that it was a tourist destination early on. (1843, 1845, 1846) View fullsize View fullsize There were already boats going to the base of the fall by the 1850s. (1852) A book from 1860 provided a panoramic view of the Niagara River (with the falls at the top). There were trains to be place by the 1880s (1884, 1888) View fullsize View fullsize And there were visitors even in the winter by then too. (1884) That continued into the 1890s. (1997, 1998) In the first decade of the 1900s the boats were still popular….but there was a cable car too. (1900, 1901, 1910) View fullsize View fullsize The last page of a book copyrighted in 1922 included an annotated map of the falls area that had been created in 1893.
