Francis Scott was unable to do anything but watch the bombarding of the American forces at Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore on the night of September. When the smoke cleared, he was able to see an American flag still waving. On the way back to Baltimore, he was inspired to write a poem. The flag was given to Captain Driver's granddaughter or niece and she later donated it to the Smithsonian.
