Title | Birthplace of Niagara Falls |
| Creator
| Bailey, George |
| Notes
| On the U.S. side of the Niagara Gorge one may find a sloping patch of land running along the edge of the Escarpment (the grassy spot to the left of this image). This is the spot where waters first poured over the rockface and, over many years of redirection both natural and man-made, have come to be the present Niagara Falls. |
