"She could remember standing in a park near the falls, hypnotized by the sight and sound, and ""holding her father's hand as they took a walk that would lead them closer."

"That's what everyone wonders when they see Niagara . . . How close will their courage let ""them get to it?"

At the turn of the nineteenth century, a retired sixty-two-year-old charm school instructor named Annie Edson Taylor, seeking fame and fortune, decided to do something that no one in the world had ever done before--she would go over Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel.

Come meet the Queen of the Falls and witness with your own eyes her daring ride
