The Star Spangled Banner o| Fort Mo Honry In 1814. HuukIiik from tbe wall* of tbe Nh tlonnl museum In Washington Is one of tbe most famous flags lu the world - the star spangled banner that floated over Fort Me Henry during the British attack In September, 1814. Tbe flag measures no lens than 26 by 80 feet. At tbe time of tbe buttle Fort Me Henry, Just outside the elty of BoKI more, was iu command of Major George Armistead. The garrison Aug that flew from Its ramparts was uiadq by a Mrs Mary Plnkersglll, assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Carollne'T. Purdy. In the battle ouo of tbe stars was shot away by a British shefl. After tbe war tbe banner became tbe property of Major Armistead and was left by blm to his daughter. Mrs. Appleton. It was from the son of that lady. Mr. Eben Appleton. that the museum received it two years ago. Tbe arrangement is that the flag shall remain permanently in the custody of tbe museum and must not be permitted to leave the building to be exhibited anywhere else Time has somewhat marred the beauty of the banner, but no American can look at the fading ond worn fabric without a thrill.
