Early Parody Became Our National Anthem
James Cary reports on origins and myths of The Star Spangled Banner. He notes the tune comes from John Stafford Smith’s The Anacreontic Song, written for the Anacreontic Society, with Ralph Tomlinson as president. The piece traces how Key’s 1814 poem later joined the anthem, and Hoover’s 1931 formal designation.
