William "Red" Hill top Stunt Photo

In the 1930's, before Evel Knievel was even in diapers, Canadian stunt performer, William "Red" Hill, was thrilling onlookers with his fatally dangerous stunts. He was also a bonafide hero! By the time he died, Red had received a total of 4 medals for saving lives, despite being accredited with saving 28. He also recovered 177 accident and suicide victims just below Niagara Falls. This 8x10 photo shows Red inside top his specially made barrel, at the base of Niagara Falls.
