On September 6, 1891, Dixon, a Toronto photographer, attired in terra cotta coloured tights and black silk trunks and wearing his 'lucky' Civil War cap crossed the gorge on the same cable used by Stephen Peer, another tightrope walker who had fallen to his death in 1887. He made a number of crossings performing various stunts on the wire. |
