“Everyone knows” that #DolleyMadison saved the #Washington portrait when #British troops burned the White House #OTD in 1814.

#OTD 1805 #DolleyMadison went to #Philadelphia for an ulcerated tumor on her knee: “Doct. Physick has seen it, & says he will cure me in a month.” Dr. Philip Syng Physick immobilized the knee with splints and used caustics to destroy the tumor, avoiding surgery.

I was hoping to have another episode out today in celebration of my birthday. However, I've still got some editing to do, so it may be the weekend before it launches. In the meantime, check out this episode that I released on my birthday last year about Dolley Madison! #FLOTUS #DolleyMadison https://www.presidenciespodcast.com/4-083-dolley-madison-part-three/
In July 1844, #DolleyMadison transferred all the people she #enslaved to her son, John Payne Todd - a legal maneuver to prevent them from being seized in lawsuits. “Gabriel abt 50 yrs” was listed on the July 16 deed.
