Sorry--Here's a little more information on Foxfire.
The Foxfire Book series
This is a series of ten books, originally produced as a
quarterly magazine by a high school teacher and his ninth and tenth grade
students in Northeast Georgia, in the Appalachian Mountains. It includes
interviews with the older community residents of the area, folklore and
material culture. Beside the intriguing folklore, each book contains a
wealth of information about lost crafts and skills we may need in the
future. A few of the subjects include: building a log cabin, chimney
building, soapmaking, cheese making, making chairs, preserving fruit, home
remedies, hunting, gardening, midwifing, wagon making, animal care, hide
tanning, blacksmithing, horse trading, shoemaking, water systems, a
water-powered saw mill, etc. With over six million copies in print, I
believe The Foxfire Books will prove both interesting and knowledgeable.
