Niagara Falls, After Hennepin,1750s

Colored engraving of Niagara Falls seen from a distance, c. 1750s, after Hennepin's version of 1698. Father Louis Hennepin (1626-1704) was a Roman Catholic priest and missionary of the Franciscan Recollet order and an explorer of the interior of North America. Two great waterfalls were brought to the world's attention by Hennepin: Niagara Falls, with the most voluminous flow of any in North America, and the Saint Anthony Falls in what is now Minneapolis, the only waterfall on the Mississippi River. In 1683, he published a book about Niagara Falls called A New Discovery.
