Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History of Banking in Iowa It was under such conditions of the rapid growth of banks, governed only by very lax regulations, that the citizens of Dubuque applied to the Legislature of the Territory of Wisconsin in November, 1836, for the granting of a charter for a bank. They were actuated not only by the general principles stated above, but also by local reasons. The mining region of the Fever River had its commercial needs satisfied by the Branch of the Bank of the State of Illinois at Galena; Mineral Point was making application to the Legislative Assembly of Wis consin Territory for a charter for a bank to meet the supposed requirements of her commercial needs, and this movement to establish a bank at the Dubuque lead mines was simply the logical sequence of the commercial habits of the time. The charter granted to them was modeled after the usual forms of bank charters of the previous decade. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
