Publisher's Synopsis
This book tells the story of the construction of the Great Tunnel at Niagara Falls, which was created for the purpose of harnessing the power of the falls to generate electricity. The tunnel was a massive engineering feat and a triumph of human ingenuity. Paine and Granger describe in detail the challenges involved in drilling through solid rock and shale to create the tunnel. They also recount the political and financial struggles that the project faced. Ultimately, the Great Tunnel transformed the region and set a new standard for hydroelectric power generation.
