Description

It's 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?

Author Tracy Leininger retells this inspiring, true story of how our national anthem came to be written by Francis Scott Key, a godly Christian man of the times (whose biography Grace & Truth Books also offers - see below). Vivid, beautiful paintings of this early American battle by illustrator Bill Farnsworth bring the story to life and make this a striking gift book.
