The authors of both texts acknowledge Annie Taylor's efforts to build her own barrel and have the courage to use it.
We can arrive at this answer because:
Annie Taylor was a woman who decided to jump into Niagara Falls into a barrel.
She did it and survived. Furthermore, the barrel was not destroyed, which shows that it was a very well built barrel.
This event drew a lot of attention from the American media and many people watched Annie's jump.
In "Queen of the Falls" and "Where is Niagara falls?" we can see that the authors claim that the media attention Annie received was the result of her manager's work, but the construction of the barrel was a feat made by Annie herself.
