"By what mysterious power is it that millions and millions, are drawn from all parts of the world, to gaze upon Niagara Falls?" Lincoln asked as he wrote down his thoughts, astonished by his visit to Niagara Falls in 1848.
"...It is also plain the water, thus plunging, will foam, and roar, and send up a mist, continuously, in which last, during sunshine, there will be perpetual rain-bows."
"Co[n]temporary with the whole race of men, and older than the first man, Niagara is strong, and fresh to-day as ten thousand years ago."
