Description

This book introduces young readers to the life of Dolley Madison, beginning with her childhood as a Quaker and her life in early Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Readers will become familiar with her bravery as they learn about the horrible yellow fever outbreak of 1793 and her heroic rescue of George WashingtonÍs portrait during the War of 1812. Details of her marriage to James Madison, her time as First Lady, and her legacy as Washington, D.C.Ís most famous hostess are also discussed. Informative sidebars and full-color photos accompany easy-to-read, engaging text. Includes timeline, fun facts, index, and glossary.
