For anyone connected with Wisconsin Dells and its "water business"
"Leaping the Chasm at Stand Rock"
The photo that started it all.
H.H. Bennett's son Ashley was the one that made the leap of faith which attracted attention to Wisconsin Dells starting in the 1890's. Not to mention such being the first successful application of a stop-action shutter photographically (and of Mr. Bennett's invention, besides).
It was said that audiences in Boston and New York City who saw the image @ magic-lantern shows gasped in astonishment when it was shown on screen--even suggesting that same was a fake.
The rest, as they say, is history.
