Joseph Albert "Jean" Lussier is known for going over the what water feature at the border of Canada and the United States?
Jean Lussier Joseph Albert "Jean" Lussier (1891-1971) was a Canadian-American daredevil, best known for going over Niagara Falls on July 4, 1928. Unlike the daredevils who had gone over the Falls previously in wooden barrels, Lussier designed and built a 6 ft rubber ball lined with oxygen tubes, he rode over Niagara Falls. Lussier capitalized on his fame by moving to Niagara Falls and selling pieces of the ball to tourists and later used tires after the pieces of the ball ran out. In the 1950s, when Lussier was in his 60s, he talked about plans of building a bigger ball and going over the American Falls, but these were never realized and he retired in 1938.
Roseau–South Junction Border Crossing The Roseau–South Junction Border Crossing connects the cities of Roseau, Minnesota and South Junction, Manitoba on the Canada–US border. It is connected by Minnesota State Highway 310 on the American side and Manitoba Provincial Road 310 on the Canadian side. The crossing was established in 1948, and Canada is still using the border station it completed in 1953, which is located about a half mile north of the border. The US rebuilt its border station in 2004. The new facility includes an outdoor gun range.
