Francis Scott Key was an American lawyer and amateur poet who witnessed the bombarding of the American forces at Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore, September 13-14, 1814. When the smoke cleared on this crucial War of 1812 battle, Key saw the American flag still waving and was so inspired that on the way back home he wrote a poem describing his experience, a poem we now call the “Star Spangled Banner”.
