America in Words and Songs series.
These slight books trace the roots of two nineteenth- century poems/songs that continue to have meaning today. America profiles the poet and the composer behind the song. Banner discusses Francis Scott Key's experiences during the War of 1812 that led to his penning the national anthem. Plenty of archival photos accompany the text. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these America in Words and Songs titles: America the Beautiful and The Star-Spangled Banner.]
