Our Flag Was Still There details the improbable two-hundred-year journey of the original Star-Spangled Banner-from Fort McHenry in 1814, when Francis Scott Key first saw it, to the Smithsonian-and the enduring family who defended, kept, hid, and ultimately donated the most famous flag in American history. Francis Scott Key saw the original Star-Spangled Banner flying over Baltimore’s Fort McHenry on September 14, 1814, following a twenty-five-hour bombardment by the British Navy, inspiring him to write the words to our national anthem. Torn and tattered over the years, reduced in size to appease souvenir-hunters, stuffed away in a New York City vault for the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the flag’s mere existence after two hundred years is an improbable story of dedication, perseverance, patriotism, angst, inner-family squabbles, and, yes, more than a little luck. Our Flag Was Still There provides new insight into an intriguing period of US history, offering a "story behind the story" account of one of the country’s most treasured relics.
