Began at O'Hara plantation Tara in Jonesboro, moved to Atlanta when war was declared, where she lived until Pitty Pat had to evacuate to Macon, GA, because the Yankees were almost upon Atlanta.

Scarlett returned to Tara as the Southern soldiers were making a last stand at a road that would lead her to Tara. Rhett left her there with a horse almost dead, an olc carriage, and Melanie with new baby, who had only a few hours before had her baby Beau, the the maid, Prissy.

Scarlett's father Gerald O'Hara told her years ago that she was Irish, and she was as yet young, but, being Irish, the love of the land would come to her, for that is all that lasts, land. And eventually, that prediction became true in Scarlett's life. At many times of crisis in her life, she managed to return to Tara, from where she got her strength and calmness to evaluate her circumstances and prepare to fight whatever fight she had to do.

The story starts in April of 1861 and ends sometime in the early 1870s. So it takes place over the course of about ten years or more, covering the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era.
