The book ''The Condition of Niagara Falls, and the Measures Needed to Preserve Them: Eight Letters'' was written by Jonathan Baxter Harrison in 1882. The book is a collection of eight letters that discuss the condition of Niagara Falls and the measures that need to be taken to preserve them. Harrison begins by describing the natural beauty of the falls and their importance as a tourist attraction. He then goes on to discuss the various threats to the falls, including industrialization, pollution, and erosion. He argues that immediate action is needed to protect the falls from these threats, and proposes several measures that could be taken to achieve this goal. Throughout the book, Harrison emphasizes the importance of preserving Niagara Falls for future generations. He argues that the falls are not only a natural wonder, but also a symbol of American progress and ingenuity. He urges his readers to take action to protect the falls, and to ensure that they remain a source of pride and inspiration for generations to come. Overall, ''The Condition of Niagara Falls, and the Measures Needed to Preserve Them: Eight Letters'' is a passionate and persuasive call to action.
