Dolley Madison Saves George Washington

Dolley was a farm girl who became a fine first lady when she married James Madison. She wore beautiful dresses, decorated her home, and threw lavish parties. Everyone talked about Dolley, and eveyone loved her, too.

Then war arrived at her doorstep, and Dolley had to meet challenges greater than she'd ever known.

So Dolley did one thing she thought might make a difference: she saved George Washington.
