About This Book
Illustrated with majestic oil paintings, this is the vividly dramatized story of how Francis Scott Key came to be inspired to write the U.S. national anthem. As a captive aboard a British ship that was mercilessly bombing Fort McHenry in Baltimore during the War of 1812, Key helplessly wondered if a British or American flag would be flying at battle's end. The answer came with "the dawn's early light."About the Authors or Illustrators
