Dolley Madison was a very important person. First of all, she was the First Lady who served as James Madison's wife, who was the third President of the United States. Dolley was also the first lady to live in the White House.

Dolley saved valuable items during the Burning Of Washington, which was Britain destroying our dear Washington state. Before Britain burned the White House, Dolley Madison put items in a wagon. In this she put very valuable red velvet drape, silverware, important papers, and most unique and most famous of all: the portrait of George Washington. As you may find in some books, Dolley wrote diary entries that were later published.
