Later writers have made formal modification of some of its terms and have added a term of some importance, and modern physical research has made slight cor rections to the values of several of ...

Excerpt from The History of the Niagara RiverMany such falls of rock have taken place since the white man occupied the banks of the river, and the breaking away of a very large section is still a recent event. By such observation we are assured that the extent of the gorge is increasing at its end, that it is growing longer, and that the cataract is the cause of its extension.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands o...
