"The Loyal States, Union, Kansas," overall blue design by Reagles & Co. (2-line imprint on backflap) franked with 1861 3c Rose (65) tied by two-line "G.B.D./Sep. 30" (additional strike at left), addressed to Roulette, Pennsylvania, stamp with small faults, cover with edge tears and black construction paper (123x65mm) adhered to reverse, still Very Fine and attractive, particularly desirable with General Banks Division cancel, supposedly the only recorded cover with a Kansas design (Walcott 1839)
"General Banks Division" was led by Maj Gen Nathaniel Banks, a Governor of Massachusetts and Speaker of the House (1856-57) prior to the war, to which Lincoln appointed him as a "political" appointment, drawing the ire of the rank-and-file officers. His service was less than stellar suffering large losses to Stonewall Jackson during the Valley Campaign and was an architect of the failed "Red River" campaign of 1864. He was, however, gifted on the "non-war" side of recruiting, morale, money and propaganda for the Army.
