* The most precise and engaging accounts ever written of the Michigan affair of 1829, the Ice Bridge Tragedy of 1912, and the Scow Rescue of 1918.
* The complete story of Robert Overacker's bid to conquer the Horseshoe Fall.
* Rare photographs of Niagara disasters, heroes, and stunters-many published here for the first time.
* Scores of murders, suicides, spectacular accidents, and breathtaking rescues.
