The 100th anniversary of the emigration of Swedish pioneers to the American Midwest was commemorated by a 5-cent blue stamp issued on June 4, 1948. The vignette pictures a Swedish pioneer with a covered wagon moving westward, framed by twelve stars, which represent the twelve midwestern states settled by Swedes.
