Some 5,000 bodies have been found at the foot of Niagara Falls... that's a lot of death! While Niagara Falls have always been viewed as this perfect example of the force and strength of mother nature, still, some people tested their luck by venturing a bit too close to the falls, or in some cases, voluntarily rolling in barrels over the edge. We look at some of the wildest daredevils to take on the falls, like Sam Patch, the "Yankee Leaper", a school teacher named Annie Edson Taylor and her cat, and circus professional Bobby Leach, whose biggest threat ended up being a banana peel. While these three willingly fell over the falls, there are numerous others who have stories to tell - famed tightrope walkers and unlucky fishermen. The chances of survival are slim, and so next week we come back again to talk about the hauntings and spirits who roam the Niagara Falls area. Have any ghost stories of your own?

Hace mucho tiempo os hablamos de algunas mujeres pioneras (Baret, Bly y Bisland), y nos quedó pendiente abordar algunas biografías más que bien merecen ser rescatadas del olvido. Así, hoy os hablaremos de una de las primeras mujeres en llegar a Vinland (Norteamérica), y la que dio a luz al primer europeo allí, la vikinga Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir; de Annie Londonderry, que fue la primera en recorrer el mundo en bicicleta; a Beryl Markham, pionera de la aviación y la primera en volar desde Europa a América; y a la menos brillante Annie Edson Taylor, cuya hazaña fue lanzarse de las cataratas del Niágara nada menos que en un barril.

Sección del programa de RPA "La radio es mía" que demuestra que la modernidad es algo que viene de antiguo. Emisión del 19/12/2022, duodécimo episodio de la octava temporada que dedicamos a Annie Edson Taylor, la primera mujer que se lanzó dentro de un barril por las Cataratas del Niágara. Annie Edson Taylor (Auburn, Nueva York, 1838- Lockport, Nueva York, 1921) había malgastado su vida en enseñar música y danza a sus alumnos en Bay City, Sault Ste. Marie y San Antonio. Tal vez, en algún momento, mientras condenaba a sus discípulos a soplar gaitas, pasar hambre y arruinar las siestas de sus vecinos, pensó en la conveniencia de destinar parte de sus exiguos emolumentos a asegurar su vejez. Pero, no nos engañemos, no ahorra quien quiere sino quien puede, y aunque Annie Edson Taylor se privó con alegría de buena parte de sus comidas, nunca consiguió aminorar la vacuidad de su corriente (en tanto que vulgar) cuenta bancaria. A punto de cumplir los 63 años, Annie Edson Taylor decidió enfrentarse con firmeza a su fracaso vital. Los años pesaban sobre sus orejas y sus facultades auditivas se aproximaban peligrosamente a las de un crítico musical. Nadie en la inspección educativa vería inconveniente en su sordera, pero era momento de atajar el tema por lo sano. En visita a las Cataratas del Niágara, donde, como un ornitólogo, gustaba de observar parejas de recién casados, encontró solución a las viruelas y a la falta de protección social a la ancianidad. A bordo de un barril de confección propia, remediaría los problemas de su porvenir lanzándose por las Cataratas del Niágara. No había lugar para el fallo. Si perecía en el intento, acabaría con su porvenir, que es la mejor manera de eliminar de raíz los inconvenientes que podría acarrearle. Si lograba su objetivo y se convertía en la heroína que saltó por primera vez las Cataratas del Niagara en el interior de un barril, obtendría fama y fortuna y, a falta de tertulias televisivas, dedicaría los años del postre a dictar conferencias, firmar autógrafos y dejarse fotografiar junto a su tonel. El plan era perfecto y estaba probado con un gato. El 24 de octubre de 1901, el día de otoño en que cumplía 63 primaveras, Annie Edson Taylor se embutió en un colchón y entró en el barril. Un ayudante de su abogado atornilló la tapa, inyectó aire en el interior del barril con la bomba de una bicicleta, tapó con un corcho el agujero y lanzó a Annie al agua del río Niágara. La gloria o la salvación estaba a veinte minutos, aunque a la temeraria se le hicieron veintemil. Como Dios protege a los insensatos, Annie llegó a destino con cuerpo y chaladura intacta. Era el ansiado momento de la gloria. ¡Con ustedes, Annie Edson Taylor, la primera persona en lanzarse en un barril por las Cataratas del Niágara! Todas las empresas la necesitaban para anunciar sus productos; niños y mayores la querían como abuela, madre, suegra o cuñada. La caja se llenó tan rápido que Annie necesitaba de los servicios de un asesor fiscal. Pero ya tenía uno, su abogado y representante Fran M. Russell. Una mañana, la abuela de América fue a consultar las cuentas del negocio. Era extraño que a esas horas su representante no estuviera en el despacho. Más raro aún fue que no se le viera en la ciudad, ni ese día ni ninguno de los muchos que vinieron después. «Soy un hombre responsable –declaró en Chicago–. ¿Cómo iba a dejar tal cantidad de dinero en manos de una chalada que se tira en barril por las Cataratas del Niágara? Sería una insensatez imperdonable.» Russell huyó con el dinero, el barril y la plácida vejez de la heroína. Annie Edson Taylor gastó su fortuna en buscar infructuosamente al abogado y perdió los restos en la Bolsa de Nueva York. El 29 de abril de 1921, con 82 años, la primera mujer que se lanzó en un barril por las Cataratas del Niágara murió pobre y olvidada en Lockport. Fue enterrada en la sección de acróbatas del cementerio de Oakwood, en las Cataratas del Niágara.

Un videogioco per PS1 che simulava viaggi e sogni sotto LSD, con filmati grotteschi e figure inquietanti. La tragica storia di Annie Edson Taylor, sopravvissuta cadendo dalle cascate del Niagara. Questo e altro ancora in compagnia del top commentatore Emanuele Morvillo, l'artista Gu ed Eren.

Annie Edson Taylor was born into a family with 8 kids. Her father was a flour mill owner. He passed away when the girl was 12, but he left enough money for his family to have a comfortable living. So, when Annie decided to build a schoolteacher career, there was nothing to prevent her from doing it. The woman spent decades of her life in all kinds of teaching jobs and moving between different places. All that traveling left her with almost no money and very few belongings. She needed to work out a way to bolster her bank account for when she wouldn't be able to work anymore.  One day, she was reading a newspaper article about the daredevils who had been riding out the dangerous rapids at the bottom of Niagara Falls. An idea occurred to her. "Hmm..." she thought. "Why don't I do better and actually plunge over the waterfall? If I survive, I'll become famous!" In truth, Annie had no doubt she would get out of this adventure alive. She was an exceptionally determined and upbeat woman. That's why she immediately got down to work, putting her plan into action...

Le 24 octobre 1901, l'Américaine Annie Edson Taylor fête ses 63 ans. Pour célébrer cet anniversaire, elle se lance un défi de taille. À 14h, elle s'enferme dans un tonneau de bois chargé sur un barque en haut des chutes du Niagara. À l'issue d'une chute vertigineuse, Annie Edson Taylor devient la première personne à descendre avec succès les 57 mètres des chutes du Niagara dans un tonneau de bois.

Living in Central New York our entire lives, we have had the privilege of being around sites with lots of local and state history, many of which have gained national attention. Most people, when they think of New York though, think skyscrapers and subways, when in fact, where we are is more like steers and silos. In one of those towns in upstate NY, a woman by the name of Annie is born. On October 24, 1838, Annie Edson Taylor was born in Auburn, NY - one of 8 children and unfortunately, fell upon hard times throughout her life. Because of those hardships, her life goal became focused on wealth - and she would pursue that at all costs - even her own life! Find out what Annie did to pursue fame & fortune, and what her life goal ultimately led to on this episode of the Missing Chapter.

Daniel and Shelley talk about the first person to “intentionally” go over Niagara Falls, Annie Edson Taylor. Then, we take a trip to the dog park! Show Notes MERCH! Leave us a tip on Buy Me a Coffee!

Since 1850, more than 5,000 people have gone over Niagara Falls, either intentionally (as stunts or suicide attempts) or accidentally. The first recorded person to survive going over the falls was school teacher Annie Edson Taylor, who in 1901 successfully completed the stunt inside an oak barrel. In the following 121 years, thousands of people have been swept over the falls but only sixteen people have reportedly survived the feat. All instances of people having survived the trip over the falls have been over the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Following the death of one daredevil in 1951, stunting at Niagara Falls has been illegal and subject to fines of up to $25,000 USD. Our theme song was written and performed by Anna Bosnick.

Annie Edson Taylor est la première personne à avoir descendu les chutes du Niagara enfermée dans un tonneau et à avoir survécu à cette chute vertigineuse. Mais elle ne tira guère de profit de son exploit.Un plongeon dans un tonneauNée en 1838, Annie Edson Taylor eut une vie assez mouvementée. Orpheline de père à 12 ans, elle perd son mari après quelques années de mariage. Institutrice puis professeur de danse, elle change souvent d'emploi.Aussi, parvenue à l'âge de la retraite, elle doit s'assurer une certaine sécurité financière en prévision de ses vieux jours. Pour cela, elle trouve une solution pour le moins originale.Elle décide, le 24 octobre 1901, de descendre les chutes du Niagara enfermée dans un tonneau. Elle en fait fabriquer un sur mesure. En chêne, le baril est renforcé par des éléments métalliques et équipé d'un matelas, pour amortir les chocs. Des trous sont ménagés, pour lui permettre de respirer.Annie prend place à l'intérieur du tonneau, dont le couvercle est vissé. Le baril est laissé sur l'eau, un peu avant les chutes. Puis il plonge dans la cataracte.Une vingtaine de minutes plus tard, le tonneau est récupéré. Annie Edson Taylor n'est pas blessée, hormis une petite coupure à la tête.Un exploit peu rentableAnnie Edson Taylor devenait ainsi la première personne à survivre à un plongeon dans les chutes du Niagara. Elle espérait donc tirer du profit de son exploit.Mais ses espoirs furent déçus. Au départ, elle fait des conférences sur son aventure et gagne un peu d'argent. Mais il lui est dérobé par l'agent qu'elle avait embauché pour promouvoir sa téméraire entreprise.Le tonneau lui-même, qu'elle pensait utiliser pour sa publicité, lui est volé. Elle dépensera une partie de ses économies pour le retrouver, avant de le perdre à nouveau.Annie Edson Taylor usera de tous les moyens possibles pour exploiter financièrement sa descente des chutes du Niagara. Elle ouvre un stand sur place, pour les touristes et entreprend de raconter son aventure dans un roman et un film. Mais rien n'y fait. Elle meurt dans la misère en 1921.

This week, Kate talks about typical small post offices in Haliburton County circa 1930 using the West Guiford PO as an example. That branch operated out of the back of the post-masters residence, the business hours were flexible, and it went above and beyond expectations. Plus, Paul talks about the first daredevil to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and who also just happened to be a 63 year-old woman - Annie Edson Taylor.

This week, Sam tells us a tale as old as time... or at least as old as the 63-year-old woman who survived a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel! The schoolteacher recognized that daredevil feats were all the rage, and her work as a schoolteacher at Charm School wasn't quick paying the bills. She hatched a scheme to deliberately go over the Falls in a barrel—one that she designed herself—on her 63rd Birthday. Was she successful in getting rich quick? Was there any fallout (ha) from her decision? Check out the episode to hear the full tale of Annie Edson Taylor! — A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules.

This week the unexpected meets the obscure as we uncover several stories of wartime and daredevil history. First, we meet Sergeant Bill, the heroic Canadian goat of WW1 who saved the lives of three soldiers during battle. He suffered from trench foot, shrapnel, shell shock, and was gassed with the allied soldiers fighting at Ypres. He survived four and a half years at war, returning to Canada a hero. Next, we head to Niagara Falls and meet Lagara the cat, the first creature to survive a barrel ride over Horseshoe Falls. Along the way we visit several famous daredevils, including Annie Edson Taylor, the first person over the falls. We meet Charles Blondin the famous French funambulist who braved the high wire over the Niagara River 300 times. We visit Charles Stevens, the demon barber of Bedminster, and Bobby Leech, famous English daredevil whose death was as strange as his life. Come meet some of history's boldest animals and a group of wonderful weirdos who dared so much that we can't stop talking about them a century and a half later.  

This episode is a follow-up to episode 4, the story of Annie Edson Taylor, so we recommend listening to that first!  In this episode, Charlotte talks about Bobby Leach, the second person to traverse the Niagara Falls in a barrel, and who died a surprisingly sad and mundane death after living a life of reckless adventure.  Find the full notes for this episode at learnaboutpod.com.

Hace más de un año que os hablamos de algunas mujeres pioneras (Baret, Bly y Bisland), y nos quedó pendiente abordar algunas biografías más que bien merecen ser rescatadas del olvido. Así, hoy os hablaremos de una de las primeras mujeres en llegar a Vinland (Norteamérica), y la que dio a luz al primer europeo allí, la vikinga Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir; de Annie Londonderry, que fue la primera en recorrer el mundo en bicicleta; a Beryl Markham, pionera de la aviación y la primera en volar desde Europa a América; y a la menos brillante Annie Edson Taylor, cuya hazaña fue lanzarse de las cataratas del Niágara nada menos que en un barril. Tras el monográfico, recibimos una nueva entrega de el Arte de la Guerra, donde viajaremos a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Fueron muy pocos los países que se vieron libres de entrar en el conflicto y que, de una u otra forma, no fueron atacados o se vieron obligados a realizar un ataque preventivo contra otros países. Si esto sucedió a nivel mundial, en Europa excepto Portugal, España, Irlanda, Suiza y Suecia, que durante la guerra fueron neutrales (aunque con ciertos matices) el resto de naciones europeas se vieron irremediablemente envueltas en este despiadado conflicto. Este es el caso de Islandia, que sufrió una invasión preventiva por parte del Reino Unido, operación militar realizada bajo el nombre de "Operación Fork". Y en la sección que rescatamos de anteriores temporadas, contaremos con un monográfico dedicado a la casa real francesa de los Valois, que lideró los designios del reino franco durante tres siglos, con monarcas memorables y otros dignos más bien del olvido.

It's Charlotte's turn to take the lead, and in this episode, she talks about the life Annie Edson Taylor (1838-1921), an American schoolteacher who became the first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Yes, a barrel. Find the show notes, links, resources and more for all episodes at learnaboutpod.com.

Die Niagarafälle sind ein Naturschauspiel sondergleichen. Touristen aus nah und fern reisen ins Grenzgebiet zwischen Kanada und den USA um die Wassermassermassen, die an die 60 Meter in die Tiefe stürzen, zu bestaunen. Doch seit 200 Jahren suchen auch immer wieder Frauen und Männer, die Tod und Teufel trotzen, an und in den Fällen zu Ruhm und Reichtum zu kommen. Zu ihnen zählen Drahtseilartisten und Frauen wie Annie Edson Taylor, die die Fahrt durch die Niagarafälle wagten.

El día que cumplía 63 años, la maestra Annie Edson Taylor se lanzó en un barril construido por ella misma por las cataratas del Niagara. Era 1901 y ella era la primera persona que hizo semejante insensatez y podía contarlo. Buscaba la gloria y los ingresos que hicieran más llevadera sus senectud, pero su representante se escapó con el dinero y el barril y ella murió en la indigencia.

Who dreamt up the stunt of going over Niagara Falls in a barrel? Through the 1800s, countless daredevils and would-be heroes attempted all sorts of stunts at the Falls and in the rapids below. But the first to go over the Falls—and survive—did not fit the usual mold of a thrill-seeking daredevil. She was a 63-year-old music teacher named Annie Edson Taylor, who quickly became a national celebrity.

Annie Edson Taylor was the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Taylor’s whole barrel trip was part of a much bigger story of daredevils at this natural wonder, which is tied to its industrialization and commercialization.
