Another true story. Margaret Mitchell had a relative that lived next door to my great grandparents. She went to visit that relative for the summer when she was in her early teen years. She babysat my grandmother one afternoon. My grandma's name was Katie O'Hara White.

There is a local story in Lusmagh, near Birr, Co. Offaly - her ancestors came from there. I wonder when this branch of the Mitchell family emigrated to USA? The area is close to the EISCIR (an ancient natural high road which crosses the middle of Ireland) - in ancient times - ALL ROADS LEAD TO TARA!

@@cindyjones233 , well, I'll tell you. She was a very short woman who married a very tall man who had lived with his family on the neighboring farm. They had 5 children, my mother was their middle child. When I was born she lived on a small farm on the outskirts of a small town where she raised a huge garden every summer, canned all the veggies using an old wood cook stove, used an old ringer washing machine, had horses, cows, pigs, sheep, and rabbits, and a pear orchard on the farm. A few years later my grandparents bought a store in another small town that was closest to the farms they grew up on. That store was half grocery store, half hardware store and their motto, printed on pencils and matchbooks that they gave away, was. "If you're satisfied tell others, if you're not, tell us." I won't tell you all of her story but I'll end by saying that at her funeral I heard it said by many of our relatives and friends that, "Katy went to the grave with 9 cents out of every dime she and her husband had ever earned."

My mother in-law was 8 years old when the movie was made, she once told me (while we sat on the porch peeling potatoes) that when the movie premiered in her area that it was (her quote) "Such a magical time for me because it was the very first "picture show" that I ever saw". I enjoyed listening to her tell me all about her first time in a movie theater and the peanuts, popcorn and tea that she took with her to eat and drink during the show. She told me a lot more to this story (too much to list here though. lol). We peeled, I listened and she talked and talked all about it, she was 78 years old when she was telling me about all of her adventures during that time and it was fascinating, I could have listened to her talk about (as she put it) The Olden Days. She's gone now but I have those memories of her!! My mom used to tell me stories much the same way as my mother in-law did as well. I dearly love and miss both my mother and my mother in-law tremendously and all the stories that they told, all the history of the south, awesome times!!!! #RIP Mom and #RIPMillie ... Your both Fondly thought of, Tremendously missed and dearly Loved, always! ♥♥♥♥

My Gf works at a nursing home. She gets to talk to some fascinating people. They want to tell there stories. They get to relive the memories and pass on a part of themselves. I wonder if someone has a channel that goes to interview them? That needs to happen. You do know you can volunteer at one of these houses of wisdom. There being pushed out of our society like these old Hollywood homes. It's a damned shame. I'ma see if I can't go and collect some of these lives. I think they would like that. She has a golden glove boxer as a resident, watch for it. Should be good. Might have to zoom cause of covid. Thanks for your story, sparked a great idea.

I had my great-grandmother until I was 25 yrs old. Her in-laws lived through the war, and when she was younger she was a companion to an aunt who was a teen during the war. I have real stories. Lots of death, starvation & destruction. In 1973 or 4 GWTW came through our town and the 7th grade classes went from school to see it.

I love to listen to Peter Bonner, great speaker, historian, human being, and friend. I worked with him on this project as 1 of the volunteers... Very proud to have been part of this and to have grown up in this area.

This is ABSOLUTELY fascinating. I remember reading, a long time ago, that Betty Talmadge was trying to save the facade of Tara. This was EXTREMELY interesting to watch. You would think that the Hollywood Oscar community would be pitching in to help to save this stuff. This is, by far, the most important stuff that still survives from the most important movie ever made!!! Look at how many awards it won!!! And the important people who were involved in it! Hollywood needs to get off of their butts and make sure they save this stuff!!! It ABSOLUTELY needs to be in a museum and taken care of before it disintegrates!!! FANTASTIC VLOG!!!

Has a HUGE collection of old Hollywood that is run by her son and his wife. Jordan did a 3 part series - check it out! There was so much " stuff" I could have spent a week in just one room!

Read the book in 1966 and after I told my mom, “They should make this into a movie.” She told me that they did and that Clark Gable was Rhett Butler. This was before videos or cds. They had a rerelease of the movie on the big screen in 1967. I was in heaven when mom took me to see it. It didn’t disappoint.

While I was servicing a VHS video store back when they first became popular they had tapes of Gone With The Wind for $250. The popularity of the VHS was so big the prices dropped dramatically.

This guy reminds me of one of the many GOOD guides from Gettysburg. They have a way of telling a story and making you feel like it's unfolding around you.

I went to a barbecue at the Talmadge home when Betty was alive. She actually told me the stories about the house, the columns. One of interesting items in the house was a huge picture of a pig hanging in one room with ham sacks made into throw pillows on the sofa. So cute. It was a lovely event and her stories were fascinating. She told me they also hid valuables, like silver in the columns. So much history. Her grandson had a little pig in a leash with a red bow around its neck. Adorable. My husband and I also worked with Historical Jonesboro back in the 80's. Tara Harvest Ball was amazing. We have so many photos. My husband and I actually hung the shutters on Stately Oaks.

When I was about 13 or 14 I met Mr. Stephens Mitchell and had the opportunity to tell him that I thoroughly enjoyed GWTW. Although he was an elderly man in his 70s then he still maintained his law office in downtown Atlanta, where I interviewed him.

Thanks Jordan i was born in Atlanta and had no idea this was there I was told that this movie was made in Hollywood. Beautiful plantation and Gone with the wind is a master pice

My Favorite Movie of All time! The South if full of characters! I’m one of them... most of the people are very much like this gentleman! Love living here and proud to have been born here! Thanks Jordan & Mom!!! Enjoyed it!! ❤️✋️

My favorite movie Gone with the Wind, 2nd favorite is Tombstone. Margaret Mitchell's family is connected to Doc Holliday's family, both worthy Georgia families with Atlanta connections.

How fortunate that your mom exposed you to such great things for example: music, movies, sports, museums, and I would guess travel. I am sorry that you lost your father at a young age but, you were blessed with a wonderful Grandfather who I enjoy seeing. We all benefit by your knowledge and appreciate it. Due to health issues I can't travel however, through you I feel like I've seen so much and have loved all of it. Thanks so much.

The old mill by a river that is shown for about 4 seconds during the credits of Gone With the Wind is on a branch of the Arkansas River in North Little Rock. My children, who all graduated from high school in Arkansas had their senior pictures taken at the Old Mill.

@@metoo3821 thank you for correcting me. As many times as I've been to the TR Pugh Memorial Park and the Old Mill you would think I'd be more aware of the fact that it is north of the Arkansas River and that it is on a lake with rushing water that just feels like a river. I knew the only major river there was the Arkansas so I assumed without looking at a map. My kids graduated in the early 2000's from Bryant High School and their Sr pictures have always been a treasured keepsake.

I'll never forget going to see the movie with Mom and Dad. I was 12 and now 62. My mother cried all the way home bcuz Rhett left Scarlet.

He's the Epitome of a Southerner. A little crazy and funny but will give you the shirt off their back if you need it. Thats how we are raised. He's a great story teller! I loved this one Jordan and theres still more to come. Wonderful job! I hope you come to the South more often. Theres so much for you to see here. Thanks for caring enough to come! Congratulations on nearly 70K Subscribers. I say it'll be 100K by the end of the year at least.

Peter Bonner is fascinating! Such an interesting part of the GWTW story that is not well known. Thanks Jordan, can't wait for part 2!

WOW! This is terrific. I met three people who were in the movie -- Junior Coghlan, Cammie King and Butterfly McQueen. My great-great grandfather fought for the Confederacy and survived. His brother died in the war and kept a diary which was later transcribed. And we are related to Alexander Stephens, the vice=president of the Confederacy. Thanx for posting !

What a story! Gone With The Wind is an epic movie. Glad you vlogged him telling all the stories. Very interesting. That is a beautiful property. I love historic, preserved properties. Thanks for sharing Jordan!

Hi Jordan, wanted to update you on the auction Someone in Ala bought the doorway and someone with the city of Marietta has bought the pieces in the barn. The door went for over $100,000 and the rest went for $35,000.

Have read many books about this subject but missed Peter Bonner. What a gem! Thanks again Jordan.

I haven’t taken the time to watch the entire video but I have to tell you once I heard this was the talmadge estate I was so excited! We got to meet Betty Talmadge in the 1990’s! Her home was open for tours and she was selling her autographed cookbooks! On the estate she had a pen with a small coop for her pet turkeys! What a trip. What memories. Thank you, Jordan Lee!

This is one of my all time favorite novels and movies. So interesting to hear the history and learn about the actual locations and real people, that inspired Margaret Mitchell. Peter is such a fantastic tour guide. Everything came together so perfectly. I love this vlog!. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Thank you so much Jordan. Always the greatest!

😂 why are we standing in front of a liquor store? Gone With The Wind was a special movie my mother and I would watch together, this one hit home. She’s since passed away-so, thanks Jordan 💕

Gone With The Wind is one of my all-time favorite books! Loved the movie too. So interesting to hear these stories! Wish I could've been there, but thankful that you were!

I must've laughed for fifteen minutes after this guy said "Margaret Mitchell woke up in the middle of the night, ate a BBQ sandwich and wrote Gone With the Wind!" Just the way he blabbed it right out real fast is the mark of a true southern storyteller, and it cracked me up! All I know is I sure need summa THAT BBQ!! I could write me out a bestseller right quick and be set for life!

Hi Jordan, WOW!! I was really surprised when Peter said that a hat that Vivien Leigh wore in 'Gone With The Wind' could be worth $30,000 or more. I wonder how much an original dress from 'Gone With The Wind would be worth. A true classic of old Hollywood. Really interesting stories, and glad a few things have survived aswell. Great vlog Jordan.

Wow! Great video! So informative. A must watch for a GWTW fan. FYI-American Masters on PBS profiled Margaret Mitchell this season. Please watch! She made a million or so off of the book, etc. MM along with her husband donated the majority of the money to a predominantly black medical school in Atlanta. These doctors then practiced at a black hospital where she was the predominate donor. All of these contributions and communications with the Dean of the college were done in secret. They stated because of the times, it was a dangerous venture for both of them. Margaret Mitchell was an astounding woman and a true feminist. Thank you for showing us where she grew up and later lived until her untimely death.

It was so sad when little Bonnie Butler fell off her pony and broke her neck and died it made me feel like crying for her.

I appreciate that Peter to let you vlog because it really felt like I was there. I'm a Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh and Olivia De Havilland fan, so I love the movie. I also always enjoy the history behind a movie, this was so interesting to me! Thank you for taking the time to share this piece of movie history to those of us that can't make the trip. Of course, I can't wait until tomorrow!

Peter is phenomenal. I highly recommend his tour experiences!

Basically, GWTW, for a Hollywood movie, was a pretty damn accurate account of what happened in this little corner of Georgia during the war. It was faithful to Margaret Mitchell and her novel; more faithful than people give it credit. And who can forgive David O. Selznick for making Scarlett pretty and Twelve Oaks grand? Not me. Tara was pretty accurately depicted. IMO Thank you for posting this and setting the record straight about GWTW. Bottom line: It was only a slightly romanticized depiction, and you can't criticize them for doing it because it made the picture something people would want to see.

This is your BEST EVER!! Just can’t wait to see the rest.

Jordan, my hats off to you for this video. I am SO jealous! I was actually there in March and tried to get up with him but he couldn't get a tour together so I didn't get to go. Atlanta is my home! GWTW is my FAVORITE movie. He knows this. I even have a movie prop and have visited one museum and plan to visit the other. I am gutted to find out the reason I couldn't go was because as he described it was " family turmoil". I guess the result was selling it. Again, gutted. At least I will get to see it on this video. (I stopped it as soon as I heard about the auction). At least Peter tried his best. Thank you again for making my day. Lisa from Atlanta 😭

I am so happy to see this!! GWTW is my absolute favorite movie of all time!! What a fascinating tour!! Can't wait for part 2!!!😁

This is just fabulous!!! I love the beautiful plantation. Such interesting history. Such a classic movie. Anticipating the next part....thank you. Much love to you and mama❤❤❤

Love Gone With the Wind so this was awesome

I wish my grandmother was around still to see this, Gone with the wind was her all time favorite movie she saw it sooo many times. She would've enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing it

What a character Peter Bonner is! lol I was reading GWTW when I went into labor with my 1st kiddo. I'm huge fan of the film also, so this really was cool. Thanks!

Being from the South, this is my favorite from all your videos (that I've seen) This guy is as Southern as a cat's head biscuit! Thank you for making this video! You're the best Jordan! Keep up the great work. ❤ Jah too.

Jordan, you can't know how much this lady enjoys your vlogs.. I am not looking forward to the winter. Here in the North East it gets so cold and the days are very long. You put so much time and I look forward to your stories. Keep them coming!

Margaret Mitchel an adamant southerner, wrote a romance novel about the American civil war and the women and families who had to pick up the pieces. Her private life, her personal experience with a handsome do-no-well, is also reflected in this book. The romance of the splendid estates, the gorgeous and gracious clothes caught the public imagination, somehow obscuring the real south and the brutality of slavery. This was not her intention, but this is how it happened. I enjoyed the film and the book.

I love all the places you take us too, Thanks Jordan = )

Jordan, you never cease to amaze me on finding the most fascinating places to vlog. I loved the book and the movie may be my favorite. Thank you.....thank you.

Interesting history, Civil War period and before. Gone with the wind was a beautiful movie, and I wasn't aware of some of the information he shares. Thank you Jordan, love old history!

Very cool Jordan! We visited The Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta years ago and I vividly remember them having the front door of Tara on display there. I couldn't get over how large it was. Really neat vlog.

Beautiful place. I loved the guide. Can you imagine living there. Great vlog, Jordan.🤗

My grandmother told me that Margaret Mitchell was my fourth cousin, okay?

Gone With the Wind is my all-time favorite movie and book. Thank you so much for such an interesting vlog. I have heard a lot of stories throughout the years but never the stories about Margaret Mitchell. It's interesting to know that all these characters were based on people that she knew and also places. The gentleman who is doing the talking was very knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to the next one.

What wonderful history, and the stories of the film. Another Gem Jordan 😀

🦁 Jordan, WOW!!! This site is just BEAUTIFUL and romantical. WOW! Sending a huge Thank You to the gentleman whom let you vlog. Another, Great vlog. 👏👍👏 I just returned from a 5 hour drive each way and I did the trip in one day. I went to Alton, Il and people were in AWE on how I had contact with spirits or ghosts at 3 different sites. I am exhausted from the drive. 🤪

Wow how informative. I have always loved Gone With The Wind and could listen to this man tell about the period it was written in and the making of the movie for hours. He really knows the history and tells it so fascinatingly. To answer his question about the filming process regarding Tara's distressed condition, in film making if a building has to go through nice and distressed periods they will film the nice period parts first and then distress the building for the filming of those parts. It is much simpler and easier to do it that way. This is why Tara is in it's distressed condition, as those were filmed last. This is exactly how they did Hill Valley for Back To The Future when it went from the nice 50's period to the more rundown 80's.

Oh Wow! I was hoping and felt you might stop here and am so happy you did! This guide was hilarious and very informative. This movie has always been my favorite Clark Gable movie. I can't wait to see the rest tomorrow and will be checking out this book and movie the guide mentioned and of course I will be watching my dvd GWTW again! Thank you!
