The State Reservation At Niagara: A History (1914) is a book written by Charles Mason Dow that provides a comprehensive account of the establishment and development of the Niagara Falls State Park in New York. The book covers the history of the park from its inception in the late 19th century, through its early years as a privately owned attraction, to its eventual acquisition by the state of New York and transformation into a publicly accessible nature reserve. Dow’s book explores the various challenges and controversies that surrounded the creation of the park, including the displacement of local residents and the efforts to preserve the natural beauty of the falls while accommodating the growing number of tourists who flocked to the area. Through a detailed examination of archival documents, newspaper articles, and other primary sources, Dow paints a vivid picture of the political, economic, and social forces that shaped the development of one of America’s most iconic natural landmarks. The State Reservation At Niagara: A History is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of American conservation and the evolution of the national park system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
