FROM GOAT ISLAND, NIAGARA FALLS.
The Bridge to Goat Island is one of the
sights of Niagara. It is a beautiful structure
and takes the place of several previous crude
wooden affairs that served as passageways
the past three-quarters of a century. The first
bridge was erected in 1817. It was carried
away by the ice the following spring. Other
bridges were erected in 1818, 1839, 1849 and
1856. The piers were formed first by building
a massive abutment of timber on the waters
edge, from which were projected enormously
long and heavy beams of timber. These were
secured by great piles of stone, and their outer
ends rendered steady by stilts thrust into the
bottom of the river. A platform was then
built, loaded with stone and sunk, and on this
a pier was built.
