In the late 1960's, Eliot Wigginton and his students created the magazine Foxfire in an effort to record and preserve the traditional folk culture of the Southern Appalachians. This is the original book compilation of Foxfire material which introduces Aunt Arie and her contemporaries and includes log cabin building, hog dressing, snake lore, mountain crafts and food, and "other affairs of plain living."
We just discovered that these are still in print and we can get them! We have brought in book 1-3 and will soon be bringing in 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. These books are a fantastic addition to your prep library.
Book 1 - includes log cabin building, hog dressing, snake lore, mountain crafts and food, and "other affairs of plain living."
Book 2 - This second Foxfire volume includes topics such as ghost stories, spinning and weaving, wagon making, midwifing, corn shuckin', and more.
Book 3 - Volume 3 of this series covers animal care, banjos and dulcimers, wild plant foods, butter churns, ginseng and more.
