Fluid Connections: Celebrating the Niagara River's Journey from Lake-to-Lake

By Mark D Donnelly

The Niagara River is more than water moving between two Great Lakes. It is the connective thread that binds our past and present, our culture and economy, our education and recreation. From the thunder of Niagara Falls to the quiet bends near Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, the river has shaped the story of communities on both sides of its shores.

In Fluid Connections, readers are invited to travel this remarkable corridor, where history and heritage meet everyday life. Along its banks, battles were fought, industries were born, and freedom seekers crossed to liberty. Today, the same waters inspire parks, festivals, and classrooms, while providing power, drinking water, and a sense of well-being to millions.

This book celebrates the Niagara River as our glue - a living current that unites natural beauty with human endeavor. It is the story of how one river connects us all: through entertainment and education, through culture and conservation, through resilience and renewal.

Whether you are a lifelong resident, a first-time visitor, or a student of history, Fluid Connections reveals the river's enduring role as a force of connection-fluid, vital, and always flowing forward.
