It gushed into lakes that flowed into a river that plunged over a steep cliff. Crash! Roar! Sploosh! That was the noisy beginning of one of the worlds most majestic waterfalls. Experience the incredible history of this misty, mystical cascade of water in Yours Til Niagara Falls, told from the perspective of Niagara Falls itself. Godwin Books About the Author Brenda Z.
