Remembering Francis Scott Key a Maryland poet statesman
The narrative recalls Francis Scott Key, author of The Star Spangled Banner, born in Frederick and educated in Washington society. It notes his legal career, government service, and devotion during the 1814 British attack, including his refusal to leave home as the flag’s poem took shape and became a national anthem.
