About the Book

As British soldiers marched toward Washington, D.C. on August 24, 1814, Dolley Madison bravely stayed at the White House waiting for her husband, President James Madison. Most residents had already fled the city, but Dolley had to save important documents and valuables from the White House. She left the city only hours before the British arrived. Dolley Madison had been a leading social and political figure in Washington for many years and helped to rebuild the American capital. Author Zachary Kent explores the life of this First Lady from her humble childhood to her legacy as a national hero. Editorial Reviews Authors of this series use primary and secondary sources to place well-known American figures in the context of events in the United States during their lifetimes. Each book begins with the description of a significant incident in the person's life. While giving readers insight into how the person was perceived by others who lived at the same time, the authors also present interesting trivia to engage readers. Dolley Madison, an influential member of the political elite of the time, was responsible for saving many historical documents from being destroyed when the White House was burned in the War of 1812. The first inaugural ball took place during James Madison's term, cementing Dolley as a primary influence on the social climate of the presidency. Other titles in this series include Billy the Kid , Elizabeth Cady Stanton , Harriet Tubman , Jesse James , John Brown , and Johnny Appleseed . Short and visually appealing, these books should attract reluctant readers and serve as a starting point for reports. Each book provides a bibliography of recent books, as well as Web sites that can be accessed for further information. Included is a chronology highlighting not only important dates in the person's life but also important historical events that contribute to a better understanding of the subject of the biography.
