Niagara Falls 



1846 



French 



account from clivers persons, who have with great attention and 

 curiosity viewed it, suiting very well with the description Henne- 

 pin gives thereof, who had been there several times. The noise 

 of such a multitude of waters falling from so great a height is so 

 extraordinary, that although the country is very pleasant, level, 

 and fruitful below the fall, yet the Sonnontovans were not able 

 to bear it, but were forced to remove, and settle two leagues lower. 

 I have had it from very credible people, that when the wind 

 sets due south, they have heard it distinctly above thirty miles. 



The impossibility of this account having been written in 1 598 is clearly 

 evident from the allusion to the fortified towns of Albany and Schenec- 

 tady, which were not in existence at that period.
