Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Star Spangled Banner From 1814 to the Present In the meantime various patriotic organizations and individuals began taking up the cause of Congressional recognition of the Star Spangled Banner, although critics of the song were saying that recognition was out of the question, because the song expressed an Anglophobic attitude, and was also difficult to sing. The numerous bills introduced in the Congress by various legislators bemeen 1910 and 1931 seeking Congressional recognition of the Star Spangled Banner all failed, until finally, after several unsuccessful attempts, Rep. J. Charles Linthicum introduced a Bill on 'april 15, 1929. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
