Hulbert follows the river from Buffalo past the falls to Lake Ontario, then tells its whole story: how the gorge was carved, how La Salle and the French made it a gateway to the interior, how forts and wars turned it into a frontier, how its power was harnessed, and the daredevils and eccentrics drawn to the falls.

A rounded portrait of one of North America’s great natural wonders and its history. Download the free EPUB.
