Star Spangled History of the Flag Creation in 1813
Mary Pickersgill and her daughter Caroline made the Star Spangled Banner in Baltimore 1813 for Fort McHenry. Lt Col George Armistead ordered it to fly over the fort during the War of 1812. The large flag required a brewery to lay out and sew. Francis Scott Key wrote the defense of Fort McHenry lyrics later adopted as the national anthem in 1931.
