| "American Falls properly comprises two precipitating floods, for the stream as it approaches the fearful brink, is divided by Luna Island and goes tumbling with increased velocity over the ledge at Centre Fall, on one side, and American Fall on the other. At the point shown, the sheer descent is one hundred and fifty-nine feet, and the width is eleven hundred feet. The amount of water thus precipitated is computed to be two million five hundred thousand gallons per second." (Z) |

| From the reverse of this 1919 postcard - "From no other viewpoint can one obtain such a close view of the falls, become so intimately acquainted with the awe-inspiring grandeur of this handiwork of the Creator. The immensity of the volume of water plunging down from the brink above, within a few feet of where you stand, amazes one in any effort to arrive at a proper conception of the mighty power represented."
