In 1966, an English teacher and students in Northeast Georgia
founded a quarterly magazine, not only as a vehicle to learn the
required English curriculum, but also to teach others about the
customs, crafts, traditions, and lifestyle of their Appalachian
culture. Named "Foxfire" after a local phosphorescent lichen, the
magazine became one of the most beloved publications in American
culture.
Foxfire highlights the twentieth year of the Foxfire high school program with a new volume as fascinating as its predecessors. Included are general stores, the Jud Nelson wagon, a praying rock, a Catawban Indian potter, haint tales, quilting, home cures, and the log cabin revisited.
For more than thirty years, Foxfire books have brought the
philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers,
teaching creative-self-sufficiency, the art of natural remedies,
home crafts, and preserving the stories and customs of Appalachia.
Inspiring and practical, this classic series has become an American
institution.
Fiddle making, spring houses, horse trading, sassafras tea, berry buckets, gardening, and other affairs of plain living are the topics covered in this volume.
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."
For almost half a century, Foxfire has brought the philosophy of
simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers, teaching
creative self-sufficiency and preserving the stories, crafts, and
customs of Appalachia. Inspiring and practical, this classic series
has become an American institution.
Chock full of the wit and wisdom that has become the Foxfire trademark, this entirely new volume in the acclaimed, 6-million-copy best-selling Foxfire series is on oral history of Appalachian lives and traditions, homespun crafts, and folk arts.
