Falls of Minnehaha', 1874. Minnehaha Falls on the Minnehaha Creek, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. '...the chief beauty of the fall is in the crossing of the delicate spiral threads of water, producing an effect which reminds one of fine lace...The gorge is elliptic in form...and quite narrow everywhere. The depth is about sixty feet...The veil of the falling water is so thin that one can see the rock behind it. There is a good path behind, which even ladies can follow, except when the wind blows directly opposite, when the adventurous traveller would get well drenched'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American . Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]. Artist Alfred Waud. (Photo by The Print Collector/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
