FACTS ABOUT FRANCIS
• Francis Scott Key was a very influential lawyer. He served as an advisor in President Andrew Jackson’s cabinet, was appointed United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, and argued over 100 cases in front of the Supreme Court. Although he was an avid poet, the lyrics to the national anthem are the only rhymes he’s remembered for.

• The construction of the flag that flew over Fort McHenry was commissioned by Major George Armistead when he arrived in Baltimore to take command of Fort McHenry. • A woman named Mary Pickersgill who sewed the flag for Fort McHenry, spreading it out on the floor of a brewery because that was the only place big enough to unfurl it. It took her and her assistants about a month to construct it. She billed the government $490 for the work, which is equal to about $5,500 in today’s money. • The flag that so proudly waved was gigantic, measuring 30 feet by 42 feet. That’s equal to one-quarter the size of a basketball court. The stars were two feet in diameter and each stripe was 2 feet wide. It required a team of eleven men to raise it on a 90 foot flagpole. It was designed to be highly visible. • The weather was stormy while the Battle of Baltimore was raging. The woolen flag would have weighed more than 500 lbs. when water-logged, so it was taken down and replaced with a smaller “storm flag.” When the rain cleared, the storm flag was taken down and the big flag was hoisted once again. This is the flag Francis Scott Key would have seen from the ship when dawn broke, not knowing that a substitute stand-in flag actually flew during the ‘perilous night.’ ...continued
