The 25-hour British bombardment on September 13–14, 1814 inspired Francis Scott Key’s anthem. The record dates it to 1814-09-13. Ground with a documented war record gives the file real substance; this entry is part of it. The record holds it as fact — documented, not retold. The detail is preserved in 'Fort McHenry'. The date is part of the site's documented spine.
