view is from the Canadian side and shows the curve of the Horseshoe as 

 very deep, almost a semicircle. This same view is found in the London 

 edition of 1818 published by Cowrie.

 principal battles and military affairs treated of in " Memoirs of my own 

 times." Phila.: Abraham Small. 1816. No. 15.) 



This map gives incidentally a map and a vertical section of the Falls. 

 William Darby in his " Tour to Detroit," published two years later than 

 Wilkinson's " Memoirs," considers it " the best delineation of this 

 phenomenon " which he has seen.

The view in this map scrap book is a very pretty little picture showing 

 the American and Horseshoe Falls. Two savages are shown on what is 

 apparently Prospect Point. The American Falls looks like a horseshoe 

 shape, and Goat Island has a fall in front of it. The whole effect is to 

 make the view too narrow.

A plate of a small portion of the Canadian Fall. It shows only a thin

 say exaggerated.
