The state obtained the land by 1885 and the Niagara Reserva- tion was established. The word "reservation" was important to these men. This was not to be just a "park" or a recreation area, but a region "reserved" for the public to enjoy forever.
As early as 1832, a British army officer was afraid that ". . . the beautiful scenery about the Falls is doomed to be destroyed." He Since that time, the mills have gone from Goat Island and the felt that the natural beauty of the area ought to be preserved. Vil- river's edge, the ugly board fences have been torn down, and Ni- lages, red and yellow painted stores, and smoking chimneys would 'agara has been in many ways restored to its early beauty. At spoil the spectacle of Niagara, he said. present, more work is taking place. The Niagara Power Project is
150
the most recent. After the most careful engineering studies, a way has been found to use more of the natural power of the great cata- ract than ever before. Yet the beauty of the river and the falls have not been marred. A Niagara Diversion Treaty was signed in 1950 which set up an International Joint Commission of Canadians and Americans. This commission worked to see that the turning aside of water for power purposes would not take away the beauty of the falls. By a system of underwater dams, control gates, and storage pools, the power of Niagara has been harnessed in the interest of man and its beauty preserved for his enjoyment.
Furnaces such as these produce metal alloys.
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY
The authors feel that an extensive bibliography is unnecessary in a book of this type. For those who are interested, the following is a sampling of the more important sources.
GENERAL WORKS. Charles Dow's Anthology and Bibliog- raphy of Niagara Falls (1921) was a valuable guide to other sources. Edward Williams' history of Niagara County in John Hor- ton et al, History of Northwestern New York, 3 vols. (1947) and his Niagara County, N. Y. (1921) were also used. Merton Wilner's Niagara Frontier (1931) and the Standford Publishing Company's History of Niagara County (1878) were consulted, the latter being especially helpful. The Souvenir History of Niagara County, pub- lished by the Pioneer Association of Niagara County in 1902 has much first hand materials from early settlers of the area. Two series deserve mention although they deal with specific rather then general topics. These are the many Publications of the Buffalo His- torical Society and the Occasional Publications of the Niagara County Historical Society.
SPECIFIC WORKS. On geology, William J. Miller's The Geo- logical History of New York State (1924), and A. W. Grabau's Geology of Niagara Falls and Vicinity (1901) were the chief sources.
For Indian cultures, the authors used the various works of Wil- liam Beauchamp. Lewis H. Morgan, and Arthur C. Parker along with the publications by the New York State Museum on the pre- Iroquoian and Iroquoian peoples. G. T. Hunt's Wars of the Iro- quois (1940) and the lengthy article by George Sunderman in the Pennsylvania Archaeologist XVIII:3, 4 (Fall 1948) on Iroquois warfare were the most useful. William Fenton's "Iroquois Suicide" in the Anthropological Papers, Bulletin 128 of the Smithsonian In- stitution provided new insights on the problems of Iroquois culture.
For the war period from 1754 to 1783, the works of Francis Parkman were used both for style and content. The War of the Revolution, 2 vols. (1952) by Christopher Ward was used for the story of the campaigns in Western New York along with G. D. Emerson's The Niagara Campaign of 1759 (1909), Howard Swig- gett's War Out of Niagara (1933) and, of course, the many works of Frank Severance in the Publications of the Buffalo Historical Society.

For the period of early settlement, the classic work is Orasmus Turner's Pioneer History of the Holland Land Purchase (1849) . In addition the various volumes in the Occasional Publications of the Niagara County Historical Society provide considerable informa- tion particularly on the local communities within the county. Paul D. Evans, The Holland Land Company (1924), Clayton Mau's De- velopment of Central and Western New York (1944) were useful, along with R. L. Higgins' Expansion in New York (1921). Frank Severance's Recalling Pioneer Days (1922) in the Buffalo Histori- cal Society's Publications has many valuable original accounts of early pioneer life in the area.
The War of 1812. Louis Babcock's The War of 1812 on the Ni- agara Frontier (1927) and the Publications of the Buffalo Histori- cal Society, especially the volume Papers Relating to the Burning of Buffalo and the Niagara Frontier (1906) were useful.
The single most important source for Canadian-United States relations (1837-38) was Vol. 8 of the Buffalo Historical Society's Publications which has many original documents concerning the Caroline Affair.
The single authoritive work on the Erie Canal having yet to be done, the authors consulted Samuel Hopkins Adams vital little work in the Landmark Series, The Erie Canal (1953), Alvin Harlow's Old Towpaths (1926), and the standard, Noble Whitford's History of the Canal System of New York State (1906) .
The later development of individual communities was studied largely by consulting primary materials. Some of these are avail- able in book form such as Augustus Porter's Autobiography (1848), and Albert H. Porter's Reminiscences of Niagara from 1806-1872 (1872). The several works of Peter A. Porter published from 1896 to 1915 were helpful. Unpublished master theses were also useful. Among those of importance are Alphonso Gavin's History of Ni- agara Falls from 1918 to 1929, (Niagara University, 1955), Margaret Brett's History of Niagara Falls (Niagara University, 1947), and Mary Eames' Growth of Niagara Falls 1855-1892 (Niagara University) .
For the power and industrial development the standard work is Edward Adams' Niagara Power (1927). A. H. Van Cleve's Utiliza- tion of Water Power at Niagara Falls (1903) and Emil Riegel's The Niagara River and Power Development on the American Side (1923) were also useful. Theodora Vinal's Niagara Portage (1947) and the many pamphlets issued by the industries themselves proved valuable. For the development of the area as a recreation center, the
many works of travelers to the region, Edward Williams' history of the county, previously cited, tourists guide books and view books were important materials. Louis Mazzei's unpublished monograph, Development of Hydroelectric Power in Niagara Falls, New York to 1925, (1956) was also helpful.
PRIMARY MATERIALS. The greatest reliance was upon the various newspapers and magazines of the day. Many of the works previously cited include large selections from primary materials, i.e. Dow's Anthology. Diaries and letters were used where available as well as autobiographies, memoirs and materials of a similar type. Reuben G. Thwaites' Jesuit Relations was consulted extensively. Orasmus Turner's History of the Holland Land Purchase contains considerable primary material. The Beers Publishing Company's Atlas of Niagara and Orleans Counties has valuable maps and illus- trations. The collection of maps and reproductions in the office of the Niagara County Historian is excellent. Federal census data was used extensively, state census data less so. The journals of travelers to the area beginning with the reports of the French and continuing through John Bartram, Theodore Dwight and many others have much descriptive material. The files of letters, clippings, and other assorted materials in the Niagara County Historian's Office, plus the artifacts in the Niagara County Museum in Lockport were help- ful. The usual gazeteers, such as those by French and Spafford were also consulted.
