sLgTgRedirStr = ""; document.write( ''); document.write( ''); Francis Scott Key do's-and-don'ts By Jim Caple Page 2 columnist Prior to last Sunday's playoff game between the Detroit Pistons and the Toronto Raptors, fans at the Palace in Auburn Hills, Mich., booed throughout the playing of Canada's national anthem. Adding further insult, Sunday also was the day Canada began burying the four soldiers accidentally killed by a U.S. bomb in Afghanistan. Pistons fans were more respectful during the playing of "O, Canada" before Game 2 against the Raptors. On the other hand, at least the Pistons displayed the Canadian Maple Leaf right-side up. The Pistons fans weren't alone. Some New York fans booed "O, Canada" before Wednesday's Islanders-Maple Leafs game and some Vancouver fans booed the "Star-Spangled Banner" before this week's Canucks-Red Wings games. None of this is particularly surprising. If you want a national anthem to receive a respectful and proper response, you play it at a more dignified gathering than in front of drunk fans at sporting events. As embarrassing as the "O, Canada" booing was, I think the lowest moment for a national anthem occurred a dozen or so years ago before a game in Minnesota when Ronald McDonald drove onto the field in a Big Mac-mobile, stopped the vehicle at second base, squeezed himself out and sang the "Star-Spangled Banner." As they say, only in America.

United States Embassy Stockholm The Flag of the United States The Stars and Stripes FRANCIS SCOTT KEY November 2001 Francis Scott Key was a respected young lawyer living in Georgetown just west of where the modern day Key Bridge crosses the Potomac River (the house was torn down after years of neglect in 1947). He made his home there from 1804 to around 1833 with his wife Mary and their six sons and five daughters. At the time, Georgetown was a thriving town of 5,000 people just a few miles from the Capitol, the White House, and the Federal buildings of Washington. But, after war broke out in 1812 over Britian's attempts to regulate American shipping and other activities while Britain was at war with France, all was not tranquil in Georgetown. The British had entered Chesapeake Bay on August 19th, 1814, and by the evening of the 24th of August, the British had invaded and captured Washington. They set fire to the Capitol and the White House, the flames visible 40 miles away in Baltimore. President James Madison,his wife Dolley, and his Cabinet had already fled to a safer location. Such was their haste to leave that they had had to rip the Stuart portrait of George Washington from the walls without its frame! A thunderstorm at dawn kept the fires from spreading. The next day more buildings were burned and again a thunderstorm dampened the fires. Having done their work the British troops returned to their ships in and around the Chesapeake Bay.

83. "Francis Scott Key - Fort McHenry - National Anthem" 1779 1843. Then, in that hour of deliverance, my heart spoke Does not such a country,and such defenders of their country, deserve a song francis scott key. http://members.tripod.com/~vet6_2/nationalanthem/natlanthem.html

While making preparations for the The Battle of Baltimore, Major George Armistead requested a flag to be "so large that the British will have no difficulty in seeing it from a distance" to be flown over the Fort. Mary Pickersgill of Baltimore was commissioned to construct the flag. With help from her daughter Caroline, she sewed a woolen flag measuring 42 feet long by 30 feet high, a remarkably large flag. There are several interesting things to note The flag has fifteen stars and fifteen stripes. During the War of 1812 there were 15 states in the Union, Vermont and Kentucky having been added to the original 13. An early plan for the flag was to add a new star and a new stripe for each new state. With 15 stripes on the Pickersgill flag which was 30 feet high, that meant that each stripe was 2 feet wide. On that flag each star was also 2 feet across "Fort McHenry" This late 18th century star-shaped fort is world famous as the birthplace of the American national anthem. The guardian of Baltimore's harbor, it was the valiant defense of Fort McHenry by

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Dating to 1911, the monument is a fountain composed of a sculptural tableau of bronze and marble within a granite-walled basin. The bronze figure of the poet Key stands in a marble boat with a seated bronze sailor, as they return from the British ship on which Key had been held during the bombardment of Ft. McHenry. The figure of Key presents his manuscript to the bronze figure of Columbia, who stands, flag upraised, high atop the stepped roof of a marble temple which rises from the center of the pool. Square in plan and with four Doric columns, the temple shelters a circular marble basin. Francis Scott Key Memorial from an old postcard c. 1970 The Francis Scott Key Monument is significant for its commemoration of the writing of what would become the national anthem by Francis Scott Key after the defense of the City of Baltimore by Marylanders on September 12, 1814.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback F(rancis) Scott (Key) Fitzgerald (1896-1940) American short-story writer and novelist, known for his depictions of the Jazz Age (the 1920s). With the glamorous Zelda Sayre (1900-48), Fitzgerald lived a colorful life of parties and money-spending. At the beginning of one of his stories Fitzgerald wrote the rich "are different from you and me". This privileged world he depicted in such novels as THE BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED (1922) and THE GREAT GATSBY (1925), which is widely considered Fitzgerald's finest novel. "It was my first inkling that he was a writer. And while I like writers - because if you ask a writer anything, you usually get an answer - still it belittled him in my eyes. Writers aren't people exactly. Or, if they're any good, they're a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person. It's like actors, who try so pathetically not to look in mirrors. Who lean backward trying - only to see their faces in the reflecting chandeliers." (from The Last Tycoon

Visit HistoryShopping.com How Francis Scott Key Wrote- "The Star-Spangled Banner" (1814 BY F. S. KEYSMITH The school histories have made us all acquainted with the main events that led Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." We get something like a full-length portrait of this episode in a recently published volume bearing Key's name as its title and evidently proceeding from a descendant—F. S. Key-Smith. It is known that the hymn had its birth amid the cannon shots of the British attack upon the defenses near Baltimore on September 13,1814. Francis Scott Key was a temporary prisoner within the lines of the British fleet whither he had gone to intercede for the release of a friend, Dr. Beans, who had been held by Admiral Cockburn on an unjust charge. The mission succeeded, but the Admiral decided to hold his visitor until his little affair with the forts could be settled. Allowed to remain on their own vessel, the Minden Mr. Key's party were anchored in a position from which they could witness all that would take place in order that their humiliation might be the more complete from the victory which the British were confident of acquiring over their countrymen. In a letter to John Randolph, of Roanoke, the mission was described by Key, but no mention was made of the hymn: "You will be surprised to hear that I have since then spent eleven days in the British fleet. I went with a flag to endeavor to save poor old Dr. Beans a voyage to Halifax, in which we fortunately succeeded. They detained us until after their attack on Baltimore, and you may imagine what a state of anxiety I endured. Sometimes when I remembered it was there the declaration of this abominable war was received with public rejoicing, I could not feel a hope that they would escape; and again when I thought of the many faithful whose piety lessens that lump of wickedness I could hardly feel a fear.
