"THE STAB sPAYGLED BANNER. "
The poem was written by Francis Key,
Just after the b2nbardment OF Fort
McHenry, during the war Of 1872. The
verses we're printed in ballad form, and
Tere scattered among the camps on
Federal Hill, Baltimore. One evening,
q soldier picked up a copy and read it
aloud t0the soldiers. Once. twice and
three tines he read it, until the entire
division vas electrified by It's patriotic
eO1ue1ce. An idea struck Ferdinand
Durang, an actor, who hunted up an
HI volume of flute music. He i'm
atienhy whistled tune after tune, Just
5 thew caught his quick eye. One
aled "Anacreon in Heaven, !" struck
is fancy, and riveted his attention.
Tote after note tell from his lips. With
leap and 3 shout, he exclaimed:
Boys, / have bit itl'' and fitting the
7srds to the tune, there rang out for
he first time, the song OF 1.-THE Star |
pangled Banner. The soldiers shouted |
md applauded, for there meyer was a
Tedding Of poetry and music made
,nder more inspiring influences. Get
ing short Through, Ferd and Charles
Darang sang it in the Holiday Street
Theatre, Soon il was caught up in the
streets and by the camps, and when
peace was declared. the song that had
peen sung by the soldiers by their
o.V2aac lres was carried to thousands
81 .I MONIES as the most precious relic of
.ne war. Durang died in extreme gov
cry, ana out for his co-laborers of the
