Synopsis

The Life And Letters Of Dolly Madison is a biographical book about the life of Dolly Madison, written by the subject herself. Dolly Madison was the wife of James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, and is widely known for her role in shaping American politics and society during the early 19th century. The book consists of a collection of letters written by Dolly Madison, as well as a detailed account of her life and the political events she witnessed and participated in. The letters provide a unique insight into the personal life of one of America's most influential First Ladies, as well as her relationships with other prominent figures of the time, including Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. The book covers Dolly Madison's childhood, her marriage to James Madison, her role as First Lady during her husband's presidency, and her life after his death. It also explores her involvement in the founding of the National Washington Monument Society and her efforts to preserve the legacy of her husband and the founding fathers. The Life And Letters Of Dolly Madison is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history, politics, and the role of women in shaping the nation.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Washington, were the hosts of the Dolly Madison Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, the evening of May 19, 1911. At their request a paper was prepared for the entertainment of the guests. That paper is the nucleus of this elaboration. I f, perchance, the reader is entertained, the acknowledgment is due to them. The Public Ledger, Philadelphia. June 2, 1912, in an interesting article, says that Dolly Madison, probably above all other American women, has, for some not any too well understood reason, been regarded with a sympathetic and sentimental interest. A nd, The Evening Star, in its able editorial column, May 12, 1912, has: A little myth is mixed with her fame, but that is to be allowed for. It inheres in all fame. That the unfading fame of Mrs. Madison has its foundation more on fact or more on fancy, the reader, it is believed, has, within these pages, sufficient evidence to pass judgment. Deal gently with us, ye who read! Oliver Wendell Holmes.
