Thats huge! But how did it get there? And where did it come from? WellThe 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 isnt just the story of one flag. Its the story of The Star Spangled-Banner, a poem that became our national anthem, too.Dynamically told and stunningly illustrated, Jessie Hartland brings this fascinating and true story to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091642183968,"sku":"NEW1534402330","price":23.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/our-flag-was-still-there-the-true-story-of-mary-pickersgill-and-the-star-spangled-banner-1534402330","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
