Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the First National Bank in the United States: A History of the First National Bank of Davenport, Iowa, Preceded by Some Account of Banking Under State Laws and Early Banking in Davenport In presenting this little volume to the public the aim has been to set forth in concise form the facts leading up to the establishment of the first bank which opened its doors for business under the National Bank Act of 1863, together with a history of its progress for the half century of its existence, and to make plain the marked advance which has occurred during the past seventy years in lifting the banking institutions of the United States on to a higher plane of efficiency, stability and permanency. Naturally, more than ordinary interest attaches to the first of any species, and so a great many requests have been made that the history of the bank which first began business under the law of 1863 should be compiled. The National Banking system has grown to be such a powerful factor in handling the fiscal transactions of a great commercial nation; it has done so much to furnish the people with a safe and uniform currency, and its wise and sound provisions have exerted such a wide influence in shaping legislation governing State banks in the different commonwealths of the Union, that a desire naturally arises to know more of the bank which first set forth under that system to transact a banking business.
