Editorial Reviews

Review

“The noble cataract reflects the concerns, the fancies, and the failings of the times. If we gaze deeply enough into its shimmering image, we can perhaps discern our own.” — Pierre Berton

“Entertaining. . . . Berton brings to life the adventurers and dreamers, visionaries and industrialists, who over centuries
have been drawn to the Falls.” — “Maclean’s”

“From the Trade Paperback edition.”

From the Back Cover

Full of heroes and villains, eccentrics and daredevils, scientists, and power brokers, Niagara has a contemporary resonance: how a great natural wonder created both the industrial heartland of southern Ontario and the worst pollution on the continent.

“From the Trade Paperback edition.
