My mission is to experience historical, scenic, quirky, and otherwise cool locales in these nifty fifty United States (or beyond)! I would also like to visit Berkeley, California and St. Paul, Minnesota...but no rush...just a dream of mine.
The Star Spangled Banner, our nation's National Anthem, is adapted from a poem by Francis Scott Key entitled Defence of Fort M'Henry (or McHenry). Key penned those hallowed words after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry at Baltimore Harbor in the War of 1812. Legend has it that he was moved to write the poem after seeing the large American flag waving proudly over the fort through the smoke and chaos of battle. The poem was set to the tune The Anacreontic Song by John Stafford Smith, and was soon dubbed The Star Spangled Banner. It wasn't until 1931 that President Warren Harding signed a bill officially adopting The Star Spangled Banner as the National Anthem of the United States.
