Tara is traditionally known to be in north Georgia, among the red clay hills around Jonesboro, Georgia. It was close enough to Atlanta to allow Scarlett to go there by carriage when she became disappointed and lonely after the death of her first husband, Charles Hamilton. She packed and went to stay at her Aunt Pitty Pat's house in Atlanta, where she joined the frivolity going on in Atlanta during the war. Her sister in law, Melanie Hamilton, lived in the house behind Pitty Pat.

Scarlett also ran into Rhett Butler, stockade runner, at charity events in Atlanta, who became one of her regular visitors.
