This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

Georgia's "Gone With the Wind" Trail-- Part 2
ATLANTA
Just 20 miles away from Marietta is Atlanta, the city that was burned in November 1864 and less than 75 years later, Margaret Mitchell wrote her Pulitzer Prize-winning book in a small downtown apartment she shared with her husband John Marsh. Mitchell called the two-bedroom basement apartment "The Dungeon." It is still there and now called the Margaret Mitchell House. Tours are offered and it has two exhibition galleries pertaining to the book and movie.
