Nathaniel Prentice Banks (January 30, 1816 – September 1, 1894) was an American politician from Massachusetts and a Union general during the Civil War. He won election to the United States House of Representatives and as Governor of Massachusetts in the 1850s. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln appointed Banks as one of the first political major generals, over the heads of West Point regulars. His military career was not very successful. After the war, Banks returned to politics. He is buried in Grove Hill Cemetery, Waltham, Mass.

Previously in the collection of the Texas Civil War Museum.  [jet][ph:L]
