George Washington portrait by Gilbert Stuart |
But you won't learn anything from those books about the brave lady who saved George Washington, because she saved him during the War of 1812, many years after his death. Well, she didn't save him, but she did save a very famous portrait of him that hung in the White House when her husband, James Madison was President. Her name was Dolley and here is a picture book about how she saved the painting, for ages K-4th grade...
