History of Crises under the National Banking System
by O M W Sprague
Sprague was the first chaired Professor at Harvard Business School and his book is a classic narrative of the national banking era. During the Civil War the government passes an act which charters national banks so that 1865-1914 is the national banking era. All the panics in this era are to do with checking accounts.
