Mitchell, Gone with the Wind, 1stEd 1st June Print 1936
"Gone with the Wind", by Margaret Mitchell, first edition, first June printing, published by the Macmillan Company in June 1936. The May printing was recalled and the book was officially issued in June 1936.
A CIVIL WAR SAGA:
"The stirring drama of the Civil War and Reconstruction is brought vividly to life in this really magnificent novel..
Scarlett O'Hara, born of a gently bred mother from the feudal aristocracy of the Georgia Coast and an Irish peasant father, inherited charm from the one and from the other determination and drive that enabled her to survive the wreckage of war...The story epitomizes the whole drama of the South under the impact of War and its aftermath. The ruggedness and strength of north Georgia's red hills are in the characters -- gruff and blustering, Gerald O'Hara; Ellen, his wife; Mammy, who both loved and chastened Ellen's daughters; the rollicking Tarleton twins; stately John Wilkes, and a host of others, white and black, forming a rich picture of Southern life."
