Gone With the Wind

Speaking of Civil War-related literature, fans of Margaret Mitchell’s epic novel “Gone With the Wind” celebrated the 75^th anniversary of its publication earlier this month.  Special Collections owns two copies of the first edition of this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, though both lack the highly collectible dust jacket.  “Gone With the Wind” was made into a movie starring Clark Gable and Vivienne Leigh in 1939; Special Collections owns the original manuscript score by Max Steiner (part of the Max Steiner Collection in the BYU Film Music Archives).
