About Me

GONE WITH THE WIND
I was Born Melanie Hamilton around 1845 in Clayton County, Georgia, USA, Me and My brother Charles Hamilton are among the last members born in the cotton plantation of the relatively affluent Hamilton family. My family have always valued education and sought to provide their members with the finest available. As a result, they have gained a reputation for producing a fair number of intellectuals and several noted lawyers. For several generations they have intermarried with the like-minded Wilkes family. Unfortunately, this practice of apparent inbreeding has eventually resulted in the birth of progressively sicklier children.

I later Married my cousin Ashley Wilkes. He is my one and only..I would do anythang for him...
Whatever comes, I'll love you just as I do now until I die."

My Interests





A month later Rhett announces to Melanie and Scarlett what has happened to Ashley. He has been wounded in conflict, captured, and is being held in a prisoner camp in Rock Island, Illinois. The women receive the news with mixed feelings. Their loved one is still alive but for how long is questionable. Rock Island's reputation among the Confederates is no better than that of Andersonville among the Federals and that only one quarter of the prisoners held there have ever returned home. The rest die from smallpox, pneumonia and typhus, among other diseases... Ashley tiredly limps home from the war - Melanie spots him at the end of the long driveway into Tara. Both run into each other's arms to be reconciled. Mammy prevents Scarlett from running out to greet Ashley: "He's her husband, ain't he?" Scarlett decides to devote herself to preserving and saving Tara...

I'd like to meet:

I have Ms Scarlet as my best friend...I only need her and Ashley...And I have Rhett to...
On May 1, 1861 Melanie herself marries Ashley.Melanie is actually pleased about the marriage as she views her new sister-in-law as a true sister.
