The Hubbard Point Caves from "Our Romantic Niagara" by A.H. Tiplin Bender's cave was surveyed by Scott A. Ensinger and H.E. Krog in January 1978. The numerals on this and the following sketches represent height inside the caves, in feet. The approaches to these caves are dangerous and caution is advised to those who would attempt to explore them without rock climbing equipment. -
The Hubbard Point Caves from "Our Romantic Niagara" by A.H. Tiplin Indian cave or Redskin Cave is located 18 metres (60 feet) north of Sunny's cave. It was explored and its measurements were recorded by Scot A. Ensminger and B.R. Horncastle, in 1978. It is a much larger and interesting cave than bender's cave, but it is inaccessble, except by the use of rock climbing rquipment. The entrance is 15 metres (50 feet) wide, 2.5 to 3 metres (8 to 10 feet) high, and 2.1 to 6etres (7 to 20 feet) deep. Near the north side of the entrance, at the top slope, there is a 7.8 metres (26 feet) long crawlway to the west. This leads into a small room, 3 metres (10 feet) in diameter and 0.9 metres (3 feet) high. Two more crawlways lead from this room. One to the west is blocked by breakdowns in 1.5 metres (5 feet). The other, to the south, connects with a small room. A crawlway from this room, to the west, is blocked by dirt in a few feet. The cave contains small stalactites, romstone dams that are 5 centimetres (2 inches) high and flowstone. Near the south side of the entrance is another short crawlway which leads to a small room. -

Through the Air : A Narrative of Forty Years' Experience as an Aeronaut This print from the above book is on page 505 and titled "What a Wonderful Cloud Manufactory This Niagara Is." Mr. Wise, John LaMountain, O.A. Gager and William Hyde were in the balloon "Atlantic" which took off from St. Louis, Missouri, July 1, 1859. It flew across the Niagara River just before noon July 2, 1859 and thus these men were the first to fly across the Niagara, and the first to record in print their observations of the Great Falls. Two others had seen the Falls earlier (1847 and 1858) from the air each from a distance of about twenty miles. Mr. Wise, on page 504, states they were 10,000 feet high and 'a bottle of Heidsieck" was uncorked to honour the occasion. From this height they also saw from Fort Erie and Buffalo to Fort Niagara and Youngstown. 'Indeed, there was so much of interest to be seen at one time that it was difficult to dwell upon any single sight without losing a great portion of the whole scene..." The balloon later landed on the shore at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and was the longest balloon flight, in the 19th century. -
