caption: By Dawn's Early Light 1912 painting by Edward Moran depicts the legendary moment of the morning of September 14th, 1814 when Francis Scott Key and his compatriots Colonel John Skinner and Dr. William Beanes see the American flag still waving above Baltimore's Fort Mc Henry. This inspired Key to write the work which became the American national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner.
