Annie Edson Taylor Poem by Belle Wassermeister
Annie Edson Taylor
Annie was a barrel of fun.
Over the falls? She's the first one!
The day that she turned sixty-three
she tried her luck to see if she
could ride the falls and then survive.
Of course, she made it out alive.
Annie Edson Taylor was an American schoolteacher... became the first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel.[1] Her motives were financial but she never made much money from her adventure. She died penniless and her funeral was paid for by public donations.
it is incredible story Belle---is it really happened? unbelievable----Niagara Fall! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
And after she came out of the barrel, she smelled like a pickle! Very educational. I enjoyed reading this.

Thanks for the education! I never knew that the first person to go over the falls in a barrel was a woman! What a chance she took!
