Revered First Lady, preserver of the White House silver in the War of 1812, lavish hostess these are the popular images of Dolley Madison, wife of the fourth president of the United States. Dolley Madison was all of these and more, as Elswyth Thane reveals in this full dress portrait of a gallant lady and her turbulent times. "Dolley Madison" realizes a moving portrait of a great lady and brings to life a too often neglected era in the life of the young United States of America.
