Annie Edson Taylor Comments

Thanks for the education! I never knew that the first person to go over the falls in a barrel was a woman! What a chance she took!

Annie Edson Taylor was an American schoolteacher... became the first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel.[1] Her motives were financial but she never made much money from her adventure. She died penniless and her funeral was paid for by public donations.

it is incredible story Belle---is it really happened? unbelievable----Niagara Fall! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

And after she came out of the barrel, she smelled like a pickle! Very educational. I enjoyed reading this.
