I found in our old family farmstead a book entitled “Male Chorus” and in it was this full length version of the Star Spangled Banner. I did not know about such a version before, so this was an interesting find. Book has a copyright date of 1888 we believe it belonged to my great-great grandfather (has his name written in the inside cover.
