Summary "The Star-Spangled Banner" by John A. Carpenter is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the events surrounding the creation of the United States national anthem, focusing on the circumstances that inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the lyrics during the War of 1812. It delves into the backdrop of conflict, patriotism, and the significance of the iconic flag that became a symbol of resilience. The narrative recounts the dramatic events of September 14, 1814, as Key witnesses the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British forces. Detained aboard a British ship while seeking the release of Dr. Beanes, his friend, Key endures the suspense of battle. As dawn breaks, he sees the American flag still waving over the fort, which ignites a surge of inspiration for his poem. The work not only highlights the emotional and historical context of the anthem's creation but also reflects on Key’s life, showcasing his contributions to society and the lasting impact of his words on the American identity.
