Niagaras Of Ink: Famous Writers At The Falls (Excelsior Editions)

Niagara Falls is well known for its rich histories as a geological phenomenon, of awe-inspiring landscape paintings, of spectacular entertainment and curiosities, and of powerful energy reserves. What has received less attention is its value as a source and site of literary exploration and pilgrimage. Niagaras of Ink compiles a vast literary heritage, telling the story of writers who made a significant contribution to the identity and aesthetics of Niagara Falls.

Niagaras of Ink tells stories of those experiences, connecting writers to readers to place--
