Beauty over Troubled Water: The Bridges of Niagara Falls

Author(s): Richard R. Panchyk
$23.99
DESCRIPTION

There are thousands of waterfalls around the world, but none are so impressively dramatic, accessible, extensive, photogenic, and tourist friendly as Niagara Falls. Adding to its appeal, the Niagara River and its falls also form part of the boundary between Canada and the United States, making it an added attraction as a border crossing point. Since the nineteenth century, a series of bridges, each one a major engineering achievement, have spanned across the roiling waters. Some did not last very long, while still others have stood the test of time.

This book documents the amazing, beautiful bridges of the Niagara Falls area chronologically in photographs, engravings, sketches, and maps—many never-before published.

From the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge to the ubiquitous Rainbow Bridge, the structures that span the river have all shared a unique aesthetic that is highly complementary to their location.
