  • Beyond Mount Rushmore - Parties, Politics and Portraits. The Legacy of Dolley Madison
    In this episode of Beyond Mount Rushmore, we dive into the life of Dolly Madison, the wife of our fourth president, James Madison. While many might assume that Martha Washington holds the title of America's first First Lady, it was Dolly who defined the role and set the standard for future presidential wives. We explore Dolly's early life, her marriage to James Madison, and her significant contributions to social life in Washington, D.C., during a politically divided era. Known for her convivial gatherings, Dolly broke down barriers between political parties, fostering communication and camaraderie among politicians and foreign dignitaries alike. The episode also covers the tumultuous period of the War of 1812, during which Dolly famously ordered the saving of important artifacts from the White House as British forces were burning it. However, we discuss the complexities of her legacy, including her ownership of slaves and the financial struggles she faced after her husband's death. Join us next time as we explore the fascinating friendship between Ulysses S. Grant and Mark Twain, where both men supported and inspired each other in remarkable ways. Thank you for tuning in to Beyond Mount Rushmore, where we uncover the history you never knew you needed!
