Based on this archive, the author argues that our fourth president--the architect of the Constitution--owed much of his success to the political savvy of his wife. And Dolley, through her many social skills, created the dynamic role of First Lady that we know today"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.51092 Madison Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
