“Tara! Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get him back. After all... tomorrow is another day.” –Scarlett in “Gone With The Wind”
A
fter three long years of writing her first novel, “Gone With The Wind,” Margaret Mitchell had an instant success on her hands. Mitchell was a reporter for “The Atlanta Herald” when she sustained an injury due to a fall from her horse. After that, she became an avid reader until one day her husband brought home a typewriter and suggested she start writing her own novel. She met the challenge and spent from 1926 to 1929 writing the now famous epic novel about the Civil War and Reconstruction. Mitchell kept her writing a secret, except to her husband, although many of her friends were suspicious. During a visit from New York, her friend Lois Cole who worked for Macmillan Publishing discovered chunks of the book in various places in their small cramped apartment. With some prompting, Mitchell eventually gave her manuscript to Howard Latham, Cole’s boss.
