This in-depth regional study of the Niagara Frontier traces the evolution of landscape and patterns of settlement on both sides of the Niagara River extending from St. Catharines, Ontario, to Lockport, New York. This significant region, astride an international frontier, both connects and separates, unites and divides Canadian and American territories bordering the Niagara River. Like map overlays that build on an underlying base geography, Professor Jackson's chronological approach begins with the qualities of the physical background and their ongoing ramifications up to the present for the use and development of land. He then adds the Native settlements, showing their trails and economic activities, while highlighting the amazing fact that certain Native features remain an intrinsic part of the modern landscape. The next time period reveals that the previous human landscapes, once continuous across the Niagara River, became acutely discontinuous with the creation in 1783 of an unseen but divisive international boundary. Subsequent chapters follow the changes over the course of time as canals, railways, hydroelectric power, and the dominance of the automobile in the present era all transform the environment. Jackson also discusses Niagara Falls as the fulcrum around which the Niagara Frontier has developed and the impact of the tourist industry on the region. This thorough analysis of an important international region will be of great use to students of regional, urban, and historical geography as well as to anyone involved in cross-boundary trade, education, or tourism.

A faded picture sets in motion a perilous journey for five young men, who not only encounter harrowing adventure in the forbidden Niagara Gorge, but are forced to confront the swirling illusions of the world and the God they knew—changing their lives forever. Journeys across Niagara brings together a series of historical events, in a twist of mystery and revelation, with a group of 1962 teenagers caught up in a changing world around them. The ice-bridge of Niagara Falls—steeped in history, fraught with tragedy—lures them from a world they know into the mysterious Niagara Gorge. As in a time machine, they enter an exhilarating world of massive ice sculptors, impassable rapids, and unassailable walls of ice. Coming face-to-face with the mighty falls, they emerge in a struggle of life and death with a Niagara they never knew existed. Peeling back time, you will meet the hermit living on the falls, achieving his quest to become one with it. Experience the day the falls stopped, exploring a riverbed never before exposed—until the water returns in a frenzy. Witness slavery through the eyes of a runaway girl riding the Underground Railroad. Cultures clash when the path of a young soldier converges with a young Iroquois brave at Devil’s Hole massacre. More than a simple tale of camaraderie and adventure, this is a fascinating tale rich in both historical fact and stories of visitors journeying through Niagara into the tapestry of Kevin and his friends search to find what God really is in their lives. Journeys across America is a kaleidoscope journey of adventure and history exploring the questions confronting people of all ages.

Analyzes the nineteenth-century canal age in the NiagaraGreat Lakes borderland region as a transnational phenomenon. In Overcoming Niagara Janet Dorothy Larkin analyzes the canal age from the perspective of the NiagaraGreat Lakes borderland between 1792 and 1837. She shows what drove the transportation revolution, not the conventional story of westward expansion and the international/metropolitan rivalry between Great Britain and the United States, but a dynamic connection, cooperation, and healthy competition in a transnational-borderland region. Larkin focuses on North Americas three most vital waterwaysthe Erie, Oswego, and Welland Canals. Canadian and American transportation leaders and promoters mutually sought to overcome the natural and artificial barriers presented by Niagara Falls by building an integrated, interconnected canal system, thus strengthening the borderland economy and propelling westward expansion, market development, and the Niagara tourist industry. On the heels of the Erie Canals bicentennial in 2017, Overcoming Niagaraexplores the transnational nature of the canal age within the NiagaraGreat Lakes borderland, and its impact on the commercial and cultural landscape of this porous region.
