Best Answer

She grew up in Atlanta, surrounded by aunts and great-aunts who remembered the war and told her all their stories.

When it came to writing 'Gone with the Wind', she worked out the characters and more-or-less delivered all the anecdotes to the publisher, who skilfully sorted them into a coherent novel.

Margaret J. Mitchell is best known for writing the novel "Gone with the Wind," published in 1936. The novel follows the experiences of a young girl during the American Civil War and Reconstruction era. "Gone with the Wind" received critical acclaim and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937.


Who is Margaret Mitchelland what is her connection to the civil war era?

Margaret Mitchell wrote "Gone With The Wind" which was published in the mid 1930s, from which the movie of the same name was made in 1939. She lived all her life in Georgia, and grew up in the late 1800s, surrounded by all those women still wearing black, for loved ones lost in the war. Her portrayal of the people, and their beliefs and attitudes, of the time of the Civil War and the years after is probably as accurate a look as we are able to get from our viewpoint today. As is often the case you probably obtain a better evocation of the people from the book than you do from the movie.
