Oh my goodness, I can't believe yo...Hello Lisa! Oh my goodness, I can't believe you actually have a poem handwritten by my favourite author, Margaret Mitchell. <br /><br />I'm in full support of you publishing this poem. Unfortunately, I gather my research over several articles I find when scouring the internet, so I can not provide you with any further help or advice. <br /><br />And yes, I am published under the name Mirella Sichirollo Patzer. I have four books, Orphan of the Olive Tree, The Contessa's Vendetta, The Betrothal, and The Pendant. I have two more books coming out in 2014 by the name of The Novice and The Prophetic Queen.<br /><br />Please do keep me posted on getting the handwriting authenticated. I'm so very excited for you.<br /><br />MirellaMirella Patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928081276314403541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660357194650222850.post-45409241986904210922013-11-07T06:13:16.211-07:002013-11-07T06:13:16.211-07:00Excellent story!

It was obtained from a hired clean out of Henry Love Angel, Jr.'s residence after his passing. My husband found copies of the photos that Angel, Jr. donated to the Road to Tara Museum but also a book that belonged to and signed by his father. Tucked inside this book was the handwritten poem about the heroes of Sumter - an amazing array of words! <br /><br />I contacted the Atlanta History Center and was sent samples of Margaret MItchell's handwriting. I sent the comparisons to Sotheby's of NY whose experts believe the poem to be the works of young Margaret Mitchell and provided a value of the piece. However I wish to have this poem authenticated and hopefully published. <br /><br />I contacted Debra Freer who seemed interested until I shared my provenance and a copy of the poem. After that communication ceased. I realize that Mr. Angel, Jr. felt he was under compensated for his magnificent find - Lost Laysen and in my opinion became bitter with Ms.Freer after discovering how much the manuscript brought her. <br /><br />However, it appears that you obtained more information than I did with my research on Ms. Mitchell. Would you or any readers of your blog happen to have any idea who I could contact that would be able to authenticate this poem? Also, have you been published?

It's called "Gone With The Wind: The Making of a Masterpiece" by Sally Tippett Rains. You can find it on Amazon.
