Samuel J. Dixon, a Toronto Photographer made the trip across the gorge the year following Stephen Peere’s death, on Mr. Peere’s 923 ft., ¾ “ cable.
On one occasion the amateur even laid down on the wire, on another he dangled from the cable by one arm. Mr. Dixon was quite a showman and was always greeted with much applause. |
