Product Description In the late 1960s, 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."
Remember, don't give up your history........October 15, 2009 A. B. COLE(USA) It could all change. How you live, how much you provide for yourself. Whether or not you can build your own shelter, feed and clothe your family, and tend to simple health remedies. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. It is already turning. Read about those who spoked it. Relearn their lessons and your own historical heritage.
Maybe 2012 is just a Mayan myth. Maybe it's not. Take a look at the world without WalMart, or cities, or a stock market.
Still ReadingAugust 5, 2009 Paul D. Griffin(Sherman, TX) Strongly recommend the series for the person that is interested in how things were done in the goold old days.
Excellent resource for Appalachian mountain cultureApril 13, 2009 K. Reeves(Atlanta, GA USA) The unique perspective of this book is that it is all told through the eyes of those who lived it. I enjoy reading non-fiction that provides first hand accounts. I did not seek out to learn about Appalachian mountain culture (though I did), but was rather fascinated by how the survival techniques, social activities,and spiritual way of life held true in more primitive times and to some degree, still today.
