INTERNET INFO: While General Banks is not a household name, nor does he feature prominently in most history books for his roles in the Civil War, he is fairly well known to postal historians that study this period in the United States. In 1861, Banks decided that his division would have superior mail services and apparently used his connections to do just that. Banks secured a special agent of the Post Office Department to work out of Banks' headquarters. This arrangement resulted in the use of multiple hand stamps, such as the one on the envelope shown above, that indicated the origin of the letter as being from the Banks Division SATISFACTION GUARANTEED We want you to be happy with your purchase.
