    This stamp was issued to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the entry of General Stephen Watts Kearny into Santa Fe. The stamp is 84/100 by 1 44/100 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed in a maroon color, and issued in sheets of 50. The central design portrays the raising of the American flag over the governor's palace at Santa Fe in 1846. In the upper left corner is the wording "Stephen Watts Kearny Expedi­tion" in three lines of dark Gothic lettering. Centered below the vignette in the same style of lettering and numerals is "1846 Entry into Santa Fe 1946." At the extreme right in a shaded vertical panel appears "U. S. Postage" in dark face Gothic and below this wording in the same panel is the denomination "3c" in white face Gothic. The stamp was first placed on sale at Santa Fe, N. Mexico, on October 16, 1946.
