Contents.History Oh! Brothers The 'Glory, Hallelujah' tune was a folk developed in the in the southern United States and first documented in the early 1800s. In the first known version, 'Canaan's Happy Shore,' the text includes the verse 'Oh! Brothers will you meet me (3×)/On 's happy shore?' And chorus 'There we'll shout and give him glory (3×)/For glory is his own.' This developed into the familiar 'Glory, glory, hallelujah' chorus by the 1850s. The tune and variants of these words spread across both the southern and northern.

As the 'John Brown's Body' song At a flag-raising ceremony at, near, Massachusetts, on Sunday, May 12, 1861, the, using the well known 'Oh! Brothers' tune and the 'Glory, Hallelujah' chorus, was publicly played 'perhaps for the first time.' The had begun the previous month.In 1890, George Kimball wrote his account of how the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the Massachusetts militia, known as the 'Tiger' Battalion, collectively worked out the lyrics to 'John Brown's Body.'

Kimball wrote:We had a jovial Scotchman in the battalion, named John Brown. And as he happened to bear the identical name of, he became at once the butt of his comrades. If he made his appearance a few minutes late among the working squad, or was a little tardy in falling into the company line, he was sure to be greeted with such expressions as 'Come, old fellow, you ought to be at it if you are going to help us free the slaves,' or, 'This can't be John Brown—why, John Brown is dead.' And then some wag would add, in a solemn, drawling tone, as if it were his purpose to give particular emphasis to the fact that John Brown was really, actually dead: 'Yes, yes, poor old John Brown is dead; his body lies mouldering in the grave.' According to Kimball, these sayings became by-words among the soldiers and, in a communal effort — similar in many ways to the spontaneous composition of camp meeting songs described above — were gradually put to the tune of 'Say, Brothers'. 'He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,His soul's marching on.' These lines seemed to give general satisfaction, the idea that Brown's soul was 'marching on' receiving recognition at once as having a germ of inspiration in it.

They were sung over and over again with a great deal of gusto, the 'Glory, hallelujah' chorus being always added.Some leaders of the battalion, feeling the words were coarse and irreverent, tried to urge the adoption of more fitting lyrics, but to no avail. The lyrics were soon prepared for publication by members of the battalion, together with publisher C. They selected and polished verses they felt appropriate, and may even have enlisted the services of a local poet to help polish and create verses.The official histories of the old First Artillery and of the 55th Artillery (1918) also record the Tiger Battalion's role in creating the John Brown Song, confirming the general thrust of Kimball's version with a few additional details.

Creation of the 'Battle Hymn'. Julia Ward Howe, 1897Kimball's battalion was dispatched to, Kentucky, early in the, and heard this song during a public review of the troops outside, on, Virginia., then in command of Company 'K' of the 6th Volunteer Infantry, stated in his memoirs that the man who started the singing was Sergeant John Ticknor of his company. Howe's companion at the review, suggested to Howe that she write new words for the fighting men's song. Staying at the in Washington on the night of November 18, 1861, Howe wrote the verses to the 'Battle Hymn of the Republic.' Of the writing of the lyrics, Howe remembered:I went to bed that night as usual, and slept, according to my wont, quite soundly. I awoke in the gray of the morning twilight; and as I lay waiting for the dawn, the long lines of the desired poem began to twine themselves in my mind. Having thought out all the stanzas, I said to myself, 'I must get up and write these verses down, lest I fall asleep again and forget them.'

So, with a sudden effort, I sprang out of bed, and found in the dimness an old stump of a pencil which I remembered to have used the day before. I scrawled the verses almost without looking at the paper.Howe's 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' was first published on the front page of of February 1862. The sixth verse written by Howe, which is less commonly sung, was not published at that time. The song was also published as a broadside in 1863 by the Supervisory Committee for Recruiting Colored Regiments in.Both 'John Brown' and 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' were published in Father Kemp's Old Folks Concert Tunes in 1874 and reprinted in 1889.

Both songs had the same Chorus with an additional 'Glory' in the second line: 'Glory! Julia Ward Howe was married to, the famed scholar in education of the blind. Samuel and Julia were also active leaders in anti-slavery politics and strong supporters of the Union.

'John Brown's Body' has more syllables in its verse and uses a more rhythmically active variation of the 'Canaan' melody to accommodate the additional words in the verse. In Howe's lyrics, the words of the verse are packed into a yet longer line, with even more syllables than 'John Brown's Body.' The verse still uses the same underlying melody as the refrain, but the addition of many dotted rhythms to the underlying melody allows for the more complex verse to fit the same melody as the comparatively short refrain.One version of the melody, in, begins as below.

The Star-Spangled Banner, or the Great Garrison Flag, was the garrison flag that flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor during the naval portion of the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. It is on exhibit at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution. Seeing the flag flying over Ft. McHenry on the morning of 14 September, 1814, after the battle ended, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem 'Defence of Fort M'Henry'. These words were written by Key and set to the tune of 'To Anacreon in Heaven' by John Stafford Smith, a popular song at the time. It was not until 1931 that the song became the national anthem of the United States.

More broadly, a garrison flag is a U.S. Army term for an extra-large national flag that is flown on Sundays, holidays, and special occasions.^[2] The U.S. Navy term is 'holiday colors'.^[3]

With fifteen stripes, the Star-Spangled Banner remains the only official American flag to bear more than thirteen stripes.^[4]

History[edit]

In Baltimore's preparation for an expected attack on the city, Fort McHenry was made ready to defend the city's harbor. When Major George Armistead expressed the desire for a very large flag to fly over the fort, General John S. Stricker and Commodore Joshua Barney placed an order with a prominent Baltimorean flagmaker for two oversized American Flags. The larger of the two flags would be the Great Garrison Flag, the largest battle flag ever flown at the time.^[5] The smaller of the two flags would be the Storm Flag, to be more durable and less prone to fouling in inclement weather.

Available documentation shows that this flag was sewn by local flagmaker Mary Young Pickersgill under a government commission in 1813 at a cost of $405.90 (equivalent to $5,377 in 2019).^[6][7]George Armistead, the commander of Fort McHenry, specified 'a flag so large that the British would have no difficulty seeing it from a distance'.^[8][9]

Design[edit]

Mary Pickersgill stitched the flag from a combination of cotton and dyed English wool bunting, assisted by her daughter, two nieces, and an African American indentured servant, Grace Wisher.^[10] The flag has fifteen horizontal red and white stripes, as well as fifteen white stars in the blue field. The two additional stars and stripes, approved by the United States Congress's Flag Act of 1794, represent Vermont and Kentucky's entrance into the Union. The stars are arranged in vertical rows, with five horizontal rows of stars, offset, each containing three stars. At the time, the practice of adding stripes (in addition to stars) with the induction of a new state had not yet been discontinued.

The flag originally measured 30 by 42 feet (9.1 by 12.8 m). Each of the fifteen stripes is 2 feet (0.61 m) wide, and each of the stars measures about 2 feet (0.61 m) in diameter. After the battle, the Armistead family occasionally gave away pieces of the flag as souvenirs and gifts;^[11] this cutting, along with deterioration from continued use, removed several feet of fabric from the flag's fly end, and it now measures 30 by 34 feet (9.1 by 10.4 m). The flag currently has only fourteen stars—the fifteenth star was similarly given as a gift, but its recipient and current whereabouts are unknown.^[12]

Battle[edit]

The Flag was flown over the fort when 5,000 British soldiers and a fleet of 19 ships attacked Baltimore on September 12, 1814. The bombardment turned to Fort McHenry on the evening of September 13, and continuous shelling occurred for 25 hours under heavy rain. When the British ships were unable to pass the fort and penetrate the harbor, the attack was ended, and on the morning of September 14, when the battered flag still flew above the ramparts, it was clear that Fort McHenry remained in American hands. This revelation was famously captured in poetry by Key, an American lawyer, and amateur poet. Being held by the British on a truce ship in the Patapsco River, Key observed the battle from afar. When he saw the Garrison Flag still flying at the dawn of the morning of the 14th, he composed a poem he originally titled 'Defence of Fort McHenry'. The poem would be put to the music of a common tune, retitled 'The Star-Spangled Banner', and a portion of it would later be adopted as the United States National Anthem. Since its arrival at the Smithsonian, the flag has undergone multiple preservation efforts.

Fragment sold at auction, November 2011[edit]

A 2-inch by 5-inch fragment of the flag—white and red, with a seam down the middle—was sold at auction in Dallas, TX on November 30, 2011, for $38,837: the snippet was, presumably, cut from the famous flag as a souvenir in the mid-19th century.^[13] The framed remnant came with a faded, hand-written note attesting it was 'A piece of the Flag which floated over Fort McHenry at the time of the bombardment when Key's (sic) composed the Song of the Star Spangled Banner, presented by Sam Beth Cohen.'^[14]

Smithsonian National Museum of American History[edit]

The flag that flew during that episode in history became a significant artifact. It remained in the possession of Major Armistead, who was promoted to brevet lieutenant colonel, and his family for many years. Eben Appleton, Colonel Armistead's grandson, inherited the flag in 1878. In 1907, he lent it to the Smithsonian Institution, and in 1912 it was made a formal gift. Today it is permanently housed in the National Museum of American History, one of the Smithsonian Institution museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The flag was given to the museum in 1912, and has undergone multiple restoration efforts^[15] after being originally restored by Amelia Fowler in 1914.

Due to environmental and light damage, a four-phase restoration project began in May 1999. In the first phase, the team removed the linen support backing that was attached to the flag during the 1914 restoration. The second phase consisted of the most comprehensive, detailed examination of the condition and construction of the Star-Spangled Banner to date, which provided critical information for later work. This included scientific studies with infrared spectrometry, electron microscopy, mechanical testing, and determination of amino acid content by a New Zealand scientist, and infrared imaging by a NASA scientist.^[16] Planning and executing a cleaning treatment for the flag following scientific analysis was the third phase. In the fourth and final phase of the project, curators, scientists, and conservators developed a long-term preservation plan. The restoration was completed in 2008 at a total cost in excess of $21 million.^[17]

Following the reopening of the National Museum of American History on November 21, 2008, the flag is now on display in a two-story display chamber that allows it to lie at a 10-degree angle in dim light. The Smithsonian has created a permanent exhibition to document the flag's history and significance, called 'The Star-Spangled Banner: The Flag that Inspired the National Anthem'. Visitors are allowed a clear view of the flag, while it remains protected in a controlled environment.^[18][19][20]

The National Museum of American History produced an online exhibition in conjunction with the reopening of Flag Hall in 2008. An interactive component allows site visitors to closely explore features of the flag in detail, download an audio-descriptive tour of the exhibition for the visually-impaired, and hear the song performed on original instruments from the National Museum of American History's collection.^[21]
