Gone With the Wind - a Dinner and Exhibit
A Southern dinner and a discussion of a Southern epic story the weekend of
April 15/16 holds excitement for our area. On Friday, April 15, author Ellen
Brown will discuss her book, "Margaret
Mitchell's Gone With the Wind - a bestseller's odyssey from Atlanta to
Hollywood." Along with co-author John Wiley, Jr., she wrote of how
this book has survived, how Mitchell wrote and re-wrote the book, and how this
iconic novel became an international phenomenon. This Weekend with a Writer
event is jointly sponsored by the Friends of the Essex Public Library and the
Essex County Museum and Historical Society.
On Saturday, April 16, 1 - 4 p.m., the Essex County Museum on Water Lane will
open its Civil War Sesquicentennial exhibit "Confederate Essex
1861-1865." Brown will again greet and speak at this wine and hors d'oeuvres
reception. Entrance to this event is $5 for Friends/Museum members; $10 for
others. Join either group now and get the reduced prices. At both events,
memorabilia from the making of "Gone
With the Wind" will be on display and books will be for sale.
