America has always had its heroines. The chivalry of the new world pays its own particular court, not only to historic ladies of great charm and culture but equally to women of action. In one woman lives a memory of both action and beauty. The memoirs of the eighteenth century call her ravishing, divine unbelievably lovely placing her among the world’s fairest women but the fame that has enshrined her in the annals of American history had little connection with beauty alone, it is the story of this woman of action that the Cavalcade of America tells here, the famed American beauty, Dolly Madison.
