    "During the Mexican Revolution the United States, fearing for its interest in the Gulf of Mexico, captured the port of Vera Cruz during April, 1914. This act placed the two countries at the brink of war, creating a considerable amount of international tension. Agentina, Brazil and Chile offered to mediate the dispute and their offer was accepted by the Mexican and American governments. Niagara Falls was selected as the location for the peace conference, with the meetings taking place at the Clifton House Hotel, now the site of Oakes Garden Theatre. The talks began on May 20. After about a month, an agreement was reached that averted a war between Mexico and the United States. However, Mexico's internal strife continued. On Sunday, May 24, shortly after the conference had opened, all the delegates and their families, along with many local residents and members of the press, attended a special peace mass at Our Lady of Peace. It was a proud and significant day for Our Lady of Peace." carmelnet.org/olp/olp.htm

    This looks like the 1914 Niagara Falls Peace Conference.
  • Arden said:
    swanq: This does look like the 1914 Niagara Peace Conference based on the people depicted and similar Bain images. Richard Arthur Norton: I believe the man shown is Frederick W. Lehman, not Philip. A San Francisco Chronicle article for May 11, 1914 reports that Frederick W. Lehman of St. Louis, former Solicitor General; and Associate Justice Lamar of the US Supreme Court were chosen to be the US representatives at the peace conference.

    this is a terrific shot!
  • Jessica said:
    I love how the boat looks like it was added in later. Perhaps it was?

    Wonderful to see the Maid of the Mist! This would probably have been the fourth Maid of the Mist.
