ABRAHAM LINCOLN QOUTE ON GIANTS

In 1848, then-Congressman Lincoln traveled to Niagara Falls and was so impressed by the imagery of the natural wonder that he wrote down some notes, including the following:
"When Columbus first sought this continent -- when Christ suffered on the cross -- when Moses led Israel through the Red Sea -- nay, even when Adam first came from the hand of his Maker -- then as now, Niagara was roaring here. The eyes of that species of extinct giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now."
