Daredevil Charles G. Stephens

I’m a few days lat eon this, but on Friday the News - Democrat & Leader (out of Kentucky) had a religious article that mentioned a daredevil named Charles G. Stephens who tried to go over Niagara Falls:

Daredevil Charles G. Stephens was one of many to attempt to survive a barrel ride over Niagara Falls, but his technique was probably the most interesting-and disastrous. He put an anvil in the barrel with him for ballast. In the end, the anvil served only to speed up his demise.

Stephens was a victim of a bad plan to challenge an immense power, so his only claim to fame was the way he died.
