Niagara
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.
Western New York Explorers Guide (Second Edition)
The first and most comprehensive guide to the region. Here travelers will find Niagara Falls. And nearby, the Erie Canal ends its 300-mile trip as it empties into Lake Erie near Tonawanda. The "famous five" stair step locks that carried the canal over the Niagara Escarpment at Lockport are still preserved near the Erie Canal Museum. In Rochester, museums, cafés, and shopping abound. This book is the first comprehensive guide to this vast cultural, historic and natural destination. This guide also includes opinionated listings of inns, B&Bs, hotels, vacation cottages, and campgrounds; hundreds of dining recommendations, from roadside diners to four-star cuisine; up-to-date regional and downtown information; an alphabetical “What's Where” subject guide to aid in trip planning; and handy icons that point out places of extra value, family- and pet-friendly establishments, wheelchair access, and popular wedding venues.
Fixing Niagara Falls
Since the late nineteenth century, Niagara Falls has been heavily engineered to generate energy behind a flowing façade designed to appeal to tourists. Fixing Niagara Falls reveals the technological feats and cross-border politics that facilitated the transformation of one of the most important natural sites in North America. Daniel Macfarlane details how engineers, bureaucrats, and politicians conspired to manipulate the world’s most famous waterfall. Essentially, they turned this natural wonder into a tap: huge tunnels divert the waters of the Niagara River around the Falls, which ebb and flow according to the tourism calendar. To hide the visual impact of diverting the majority of the water, the United States and Canada cooperated to install massive control works while reshaping and shrinking the Horseshoe Falls. This book offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective on how the Niagara landscape ultimately embodies both the power of technology and the power of nature.

Niagara's Most Haunted: Legends and Myths is not just a book about ghosts and haunted places, but also explores areas in the Niagara region which are considered some of the richest in North American history.

This book examines some of the most haunted places dating back to the 1800's. Each chapter covers a different genre of settings--discussing historical sites, entertaining readers with anecdotal ghost stories, while testing myths with paranormal investigations. Some of the haunted sites include; bed and breakfasts, ships/boats, trains, tunnels, museums, mansions, highways, forts, cemeteries, waterfalls, school houses and many more.
