Soaring Gulls and Bowing Trees is the definite study of Goat Island from both geological and historical perspectives. It is
also meant to increase the public's awareness of this ecologically important point of land lying between the American
and Horseshoe Falls. Although it is at times written in somewhat
technical language, it still manages to beguile the reader by its sheer descriptive power. I highly recommend it for both
prospective tourists, as well as students of American history.
