Sam Patch jumps the falls
November 13, 1829
Rochester, New York
A mill worker turned professional daredevil had already jumped Niagara twice and drew thousands to watch him take the Genesee falls. He went in badly on the second attempt and his body was found downstream in the spring, arguably the first American celebrity stuntman, and the first killed doing it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
