atlanner burning!

on this day in history, the yankees burnt up atlanner and left on their march to the sea ---- wheee! good times in georgia!

the atlanta burning scene in "gone with the wind" shown here was the first scene filmed --- they rigged the sets from demille's 1927 version of "king of kings" and rko's 1933 version of "king kong" with gas lines so they could control the burn, and destroyed the sets on 10 december 1938 to clear the site for construction of the tara set for "gone with the wind"
