Prints by Amos W. Sangster. From Niagara From Lake To Lake. Buffalo: Peter Paul & Brother, 1892. Section One of a projected second edition. With 20 typogravures in the text and 3 full page typogravures.

This is Section One of a purposed second edition of Sangster's work on the Niagara River, first published in 1886 [500-652].

It is likely that this section was the only one ever published, for there is no record of any other sections or of a complete second edition of the book.

Only the three full page typogravures are listed above.
