In 1934, Caroline Miller's novel, Lamb in his Bosom won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. After reading Miller, MacMillan editor Harold S. Latham sought out other southern novels and authors, and found Margaret Mitchell.

This is not the romantic story of the Old South, but the other story - that of
the poor families who settled frontier Georgia, and whose sons and daughters moved on to settle Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas among other states.

This is a great story, the tale of Cean and Lonzo, a newly married
couple cutting a life for themselves out of the forested Georgia frontier,
and of what such a primitive life demanded.
