Commemorates the centennial celebration of the Star-Spangled Banner in 1914.

Published by the National Star-Spangled Banner Centennial Commission, this official program provides a rich narrative of Baltimore’s role in the War of 1812 and the birth of the national anthem, alongside detailed accounts of the centennial events.

Written by Douglas H. Thomas, this book offers insight into Baltimore's history and the enduring legacy of America's national anthem.

More from the Maryland State Archives:

In commemoration of Francis Scott Key's "Star Spangled Banner," a centennial celebration was held the week of September 6-13, 1914 in Baltimore. This celebration was the suggestion of Mayor James H. Preston who believed that the formation of such a national organization could promote patriotism by emphasizing the flag. During the interval of the centennial, the first meeting of the National Star Spangled Banner Centennial Commission was held to draft a catechism relative to the flag.

Shipping: $10. Please allow two weeks for shipping.
