This vintage book is a detailed of the history of sailing on the Niagra river, being a treatise on the vessels and steamers that sailed to its ports during the late nineteenth century. With information on famous vessels and fascinating historical descriptions, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in America's maritime history, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The First Eras of Canoe and Sail", "The First Steamboats of Early Water Routes", "More Steamboats and Early Water Routes", "Expansion and Declines of Traffic on the River", "On the Upper Lakes With the Wolseley Expedition and Lord Dufferin", "A Novel Idea and a New Venture, Buffalo in Sailing Ship Days, A Risky Passage", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing. This book was first published in 1913.
