Do you know the story of the Star Spangled Banner?

It is the War of 1812, and the British have just destroyed Washington, D.C. Having negotiated the release of a fellow patriot aboard a British warship, Francis Scott Key finds himself unexpectedly detained under enemy command. Helpless, he watches from the ship as the British navy launches a withering attack on Fort McHenry, Baltimore’s only defense. Francis strains to see through the darkness and cannon smoke, hoping for a glimpse of the flag. Will the fort survive? Does the flag yet wave? Yes, Our Flag Was Still There!

Vivid renderings of this early American battle by illustrator Bill Farnsworth bring the story to life.

In addition to being great to just read and enjoy, this wonderfully illustrated book makes an excellent reward or gift especially for a young man.
