Harry Colcord
“The Great Blondin” especially owed his celebrity and fortune to his idea of crossing the gorge below Niagara Falls on a tightrope.
This he accomplished, first on June 30, 1859, a number of times, always with different theatric variations: blindfold, in a sack, trundling a wheelbarrow, on stilts, carrying a man (his manager, Harry Colcord) on his back, sitting down midway while he cooked and ate an omelette.

Answer - Harry Colcord.
