Ebbie BS: March on Washington, 1814 (54* d) RE: BS: March on Washington, 1814 30 Aug 14

"The president fled leaving his dinner on the table, for which the invaders were grateful - especially has he had an excellent wine-cellar." Guest/DaveRo

English, I presume? Let me correct you: As I recall, President Madison wasn't even home. Dolley Madison, his wife, had had dinner prepared for invited guests- and she is the one who left it. Your soldiers ate and drank and then burnt the building to the ground. Kind of cheesy, actually.

(Mrs. Madison, however, had time to take some valuables with her, including a copy of the famous painting of George Washington.)
