1846, September 8
On September 8, 1846 General Stephen W. Kearny arrived in Tome with approx. 600 troops to inquire about a possible counter offensive by Governor Manuel Armijo who had left Santa Fe and gone to his family home in Lemitar, NM. He did not find the governor, but it was the eve of the Tome Fiestas and being an Episcopilian he worshiped with the townspeople.
He appointd Jesus Sanchez as area administrator and returned back to Santa Fe. A children/s book entitled: The Americans are Coming uses this historical incident to tell a fiction narrative of this event. It is available in La Tiendita at the NM Cultural-Historical Museum in Albuquerque.
This page is for perpetual written accounts of historical events that have occurred in the city. Anyone who feels they have pertinent information may submit it. This includes all people in or out of Tome-Adelino and could involve any interested adults or children with events or items that are of interest. Items may be submitted for publication on this page where they will remain as part of a historical archive for the city. Items of interest may include noteworthy events, special events of historical importance, information about area growth that pertains to the history of the city, and other pertinent notes. We hope to establish a large data base of information about the history of each city. Historical Societies are encouraged to open their own page on Key to the City for more extensive historical information.
