Gone with the Wind Published


On June 30, 1936, Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind went to publication and became an almost instant bestseller. The story, which revolves around Scarlett O'Hara, weaves its tale of private struggle into the framework of the American Civil War and Reconstruction Era, artfully depicting both the Old South and the immediate post-war south. Though controversial for its depiction of slavery and plantation life, the novel is, to this day, considered one of the most beloved of American Literature.
