- The civil war time duration 1861 to 1863, encouraged him to experiment and make success of captive balloons, here his motivation raised as he was self made scientist and aeronaut.
- He was attempting to study medicine to satisfy the wishes of his grandmother, but the boredom diverted him to his first passion, aviation using lighter-than-air gases.
