| Niagara Falls Heritage Foundation Government of Canada Local Initiatives Grant AK 2403-9 1974 - 1975 ; Research by George Seibel ; "Early guidebooks show the location of Indian Ladders at several place along the Gorge bank. Indian ladders were described as slender cedar or pine trees which had their branches cut off to within three inches of the trunk providing hand and foot holds. The top was attached by a bark cord to the roots of a living tree and the bottom anchored firmly in a pile of rocks. Variations of this ladder were notched with axes for foot and hand holds. Until Mrs. Simcoe's visit to the Falls in 1795 these ladders were the only way down the bank " ; |
