Sure Hank Burcharcl ly Washington Post Writer His The Banner, ours by Act of Congress, brings us to our feet from kindergarten to the Super Bowl, and we are almost daily reminded of the sleepless night Key spent wondering whether the flag over Fort McKinley would still be there at sunup Of all the citizens of the land of the free and the home of the brave the two who feel Keys touch most directly are probably Brad and Terry Wigle of Kaymar, Md , who herd goats and tourists in about equal measure at Terra Rubra, in the beautiful Monocacy Valley, where Key was born in 1779. d NAMED BY Keys father for the rich red cla soil of the Piedmont, Terra Rubra is still a working farm That is, the Wigles work the 176 acres when they're not showing visitors around the place. Someday the come by the dozens We welcome visitors, and really enjoy showing them around when we can, Brad Wigle said We've met some interesting people, and, well, we just feel that this kind of historical association ought to flag attest Although stone markers and an to the authenticity of the Key birthplace, Brad Wigle tells you right off that it isnt the original house, The mansion, built in 1770, collapsed in a windstorm that swept its commanding knoll in 1858, and the owners reassembled the bricks and beams into a handsome home that is half as large but twice as thick FOR THAT matter, according to neighbor IJoyd understand Key wasnt actually born there Wilhide, anyway. It seems his mother didnt quite make it into the house A woman who gave birth to six sons and five daughters might lie expected to drop one or two in the ever-flyin- g 1 ard Key grew up to be a minor author and poet and a major backstage figure in the life of the young Republic. Practicing law from his home in Washingtons Georgetown district, he was the Clark Clifford of his a a Mr, Fixit. It day a smoother-out- , was for this reason that he was authorized to go to Baltimore to try to obtain the release of his old friend Dr. William Beanes, who had offended the British by clapping some of their drunken sailors in the hoosegow as they staggered through Upper Marlboro during their withdrawal from the sack of Washington in 1814. Key got Beanes off, but was detained on board ship in Baltimore harbor because of the impending attack on the fort. Posterity has shared his agony ever since TERRA RUBRA, which amounted to 3,000 acres in Keys time, has passed through the hands of seven families. Among them were Peter and Annie K. Baumgardner, who in 1922 built what must be the most recent and most massive pegged-oabarn in America but who never knew that Key was born there until Congress made the anthem official in 1931 and a couple of ladies came out from Frederic Md , and told them about it Terry Wigles parents, Naomi and Lee Barry Brown, Ixiught the farm in 1974, and the young people were married on the lawn in Ma 1976 Both were students at the University of Maryland who decided theyd rather dig in the soil than in the hooks Still only 21, they have the sturdy, competent air of born farmers. The house wac in pretty good shape when we moved in, hut the random width fhxiring had been painted, and the fieldstone fireplace was plastered over, things like that, Brad said We put in a lot of work putter-togethe- r, k , TRAVEL 294 North University Ave Provo 84601 or 1 800-665364 Bountiful Stanch Office West South Bountiful 453 500 84010 292 7273 Information Center Old Courthouse 97 East St. George Blvd. St. George, Utah 84770 Oooooh, say can you see GEORGE Washington fathered the country and Abraham Lincoln kept it one nation, indivisible, but the only early American who still directly touches every citizens life is Francis Scott Key.
