Gone With the Wind was a Pulitzer Prize winning novel written by Author Margaret Mitchell in 1936. The novel concerns a young woman's life in the midst of the Civil War and Reconstruction. In 1939 the book was made into a film, starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, the film premiered in Atlanta Georgia at Loew's Grand Theater. Margaret Mitchell (1900-1949) was a native of Atlanta Georgia; she grew up being told civil war stories by veterans and family members, and eventually became a journalist for the Atlanta Journal. When she was forced to leave journalism in 1926, due to an accident, she began writing Gone With the Wind recalling the stories she learned during her childhood. It was the only novel she ever wrote, but Gone With the Wind won a Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and became one of the best selling American novels, surpassed only by the 1966 novel Valley of the Dolls. - Local Identifier:
