Annie Edson Taylor, the first person who to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel on October 24, 1901

The first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in barrel was Annie Taylor. She was a schoolteacher and made the daredevil move on her 63rd birthday. Want all of the adventure and none of the danger? Listen to Niagara Falls by Michael Daugherty with me this morning on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

We’re thrilled to introduce Emily Boyer as WSHU's morning classical host.
