That’s huge! But how did it get there? And where did it come from? Well…\n\nThe story of this giant flag begins in 1812 and stars a major on the eve of battle, a seamstress and her mighty helpers, and a poet named Francis Scott Key. This isn’t just the story of one flag. It’s the story of “The Star Spangled-Banner,” a poem that became our national anthem, too.\n\nDynamically told and stunningly illustrated, Jessie Hartland brings this fascinating and true story to life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1534402330\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1534402330.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hartland, Jessie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
