Excerpt from Memorial of Daniel Ruggles, Asking an Appropriation, to Be Expended in Developing His System of Producing Rainfall
The genius of man has been brilliantly illustrated in the progressive stages of development of this primeval invention in all its varied forms. In the small canoe, cut from the trunk of a forest-tree or fashioned from the strong bark of the birchen tree, we trace the origin of this inspiration of savage genius. Such was the magic bark, bearing in prehistoric ages the solitary hunter and fisherman. In the progress of time each strue ture of canoe acquired a capacity to 'bear scores of savage warriors on the war-path against hostile nations.
Necessity was then, as now, the mother of invention. Primeval man invented the bow and the arrow; also a transcendant achievement of savage genius.
