Excerpt from book: HORSE SHOE FALL. 87 Between Luna Island and the shore, with a comparatively shallow stream, the descent of the Fall is said to be greater by several feet than at the Horse-shoe Fall. An ingeniously constructed bridge connects Goat Island with the shore, from whence you have an excellent view of the rapids; indeed the bridge crosses the American branch of the river in the midst of them. You look on your right hand, and there is the roaring American Fall, almost close to you. Goat Island is a gem of beauty, and its lovely foliage and bowery walks seem to charm away a little of the overpowering awful- ness from its tremendous neighbor. It is said that if, as is supposed, the cataract has backed all the way from Queenstown, it must have taken about forty thousand years for it to recede to its present situation. The quantity of water precipitated over the Falls is estimated by Professor Dwight to be 11,524,375 tons per hour; by Darby at 1,672,704,000 cubic feet per hour, and by Pickens at 113,510, 000, or 18,524,000 cubic feet a minute. Among the islands which diversify the surface of the Niagara River, is Grand Island, which contains 18,000 acres of good and fertile soil, covered with rich forests. Navy Island is another, and it terminates in a beautiful point about a mile and a half above the Fall. CHAPTER IV.
