A New York Times bestseller, A Slave in the White House received
glowing reviewsthatpraised its narrative and original research. It
is the story of Paul Jennings, who was born into slavery on the
plantation of James and Dolley Madison in Virginia and moved with
the Madison household staff to the White House. Jennings was a
self-taught and self-made man who purchased his own freedom and
penned the first ever White House memoir. Nearly two centuries
later, Montpelier scholar Elizabeth Dowling Taylor uncovered the
memoir. In this amazing narrative she reconstructs his lifeand
hisunusual portraits of James and Dolley Madison andSenator Daniel
Websterin early nineteenth century Washington, as well as the 1812
assault on British troops and Jennings' heroic saving of George
Washington's portrait. Fascinating and original, this is an
important contribution to American history.
