This was the first of many US. Stamps just sitting here thinking about what a wonderful featuring this Christian holiday. The holiday is hobby we have. How it can be anything we sometimes known for its many pagan rituals choose it to be. I mean we can collect covers adopted by Christians. This would make sense (military, first-days, postal history, from certain because this holiday was placed on the calendar geographic locations). We can collect a country where it is to counter the Pagan holiday. The or group of countries (British Commonwealth, French colonies, U.S., Canada, etc.). We can unfamiliar to many of us, the series is collect topicals (birds, authors, artists, or educational. To the curious among us, it specifics of any one category). I mean the list compels us to look up the unfamiliar names and goes on and on – so many stamps and ways to see what they did. For example, the previously collect them and so little time. Anyway, this mentioned Sylvanus Thayer (shown below) was month I thought we could look at a very an early superintendent of West Point where he interesting U.S. definitive set. No not those introduced an engineering degree, the first of its stalwarts the prexies or the liberty issue. Rather, kind in the U.S. what I had in mind is the Great Americans series. The Great Americans series began on December 27, 1980 with the issuance of a 19¢ stamp commemorating Sequoyah, a member of the Cherokee nation that composed a means of writing in Cherokee. The series ended on July 17, 1999 with the issuance of a stamp honoring Justin S. Morrill, a representative and senator from Vermont most noted for the Morrill Land Grant Acts providing funding for many public U.S. 1852 universities throughout our country. These An interesting side note here, Thayer followed stamps are shown below. another lesser know subject commemorated in the Great Americans series, Alden Partridge (Scott 1854) as superintendent of West Point. The second thing that appeals to me about this series is the simple yet elegant artwork. The stamps are attractive folks, just take a good look at the Carl Schurz stamp (Scott 1847) pictured below. Note the detail in his hair and beard, in the glasses, in his eyes. These stamps are works U.S. 1859 U.S. 2941 of art. There is a total of 63 stamps in the series. This series followed the Americana series and preceded the Distinguished Americans series. It ran at about the same time as the popular Transportation Coils series. There are several things that appeal to me about the Great Americans series. First, the subjects, some are well-known, some are not, but they are all certainly worthy of commemoration on our country’s stamps. For instance, everyone is familiar with author Jack London (Scott 2182 and 2197), Hunkpapa Lakota Chief Sitting Bull (Scott 2183), and Senator Hubert Humphrey (Scott 2189). However, who knows or is familiar with Sylvanus Thayer (Scott 1852), U.S. 1847 Virginia Apgar (Scott 2179), or Bret Harte Carl Schurz has ties to Wisconsin for those of (Scott 2196)? Because some of the people you that are into Wisconsin on Stamps. He commemorated on stamps in this series are spent several years in Wisconsin as a young man.
