Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind, one of the best-
selling novels of all time and the basis for a blockbuster
1939 movie, was published on June 30, 1936.

In 1926, Mitchell was forced to quit her job as a reporter
at the Atlanta Journal to recover from a series of physical
injuries. With too much time on her hands, Mitchell soon
grew restless. Working on a Remington typewriter, a gift
from her second husband, John R. Marsh, in their cramped 
one-bedroom apartment, Mitchell began telling the story
of an Atlanta belle named Pansy O’Hara.
