The Four Horsemen Stamp


The Notre Dame Four Horseman consisting of players Harry Stuhldreher, Don Miller, Elmer Layden, and Jim Crowley were rewarded for their work and legendary status with a 1998 stamp created by the United States Postal Service. The stamp was part of a 15 commemorative postage stamp pack saluting "The Roaring Twenties." The stamps were officially issued on May 28, 1998, immortalizing their place in history, which all began with an article written by Grantland Rice in the aftermath of the Notre Dame-Army game back on October 18, 1924 at the Polo Grounds in New York. This stamp is the third Notre Dame-related commmorative issued by the postal service, succeeding a Knute Rockne stamp in 1988 and a postcard with the Main Building on the stamp in 1991.
