This exhibition features never-seen-before letters written by Margaret Mitchell and her husband, John, to his family in Kentucky and across the United States. The letters document the couple's lives after the publication of the book in 1936 and prior to the movie premiere in 1939. This exhibit reveals the human side of Margaret Mitchell in intimate correspondence shared among family members when letter writing was in vogue. You'll discover how dramatically their life was changed by 'Gone With the Wind'. The letters also illustrate that Mitchell was quite a prolific writer and wrote letters with the frequency that we send emails today. The collection is newly acquired by the University of Georgia Hargrett Library.
