Excerpt from Circular: Engineers' Report and Other Documents Relating to the Cairo City Property at the Confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, Illinois

Let the foremost men of our age be called together: let a map of the world be enrolled before them, and there are certain points which instantly engage the attention of all; of the conqueror-the statesman - the philanthropist - the law~ giver - the man of business, and the capitalist.

These points are so many centres of civilization. They are always found where vast bodies of water meet, and large, populous and fertile territories converge, under favorable circumstances, for colonization, supply and defence.
