The Foxfire Books series is an attempt to get down on paper the wisdom and ways of the Mountain People of rural America. So much of our knowledge is no longer passed orally from one generation to the next and we are all the worse off for it. The Foxfire Series is an effort to record this information before it is gone forever - The Foxfire Books tell us about barn raisings, quilting, making your own furniture, home remedies, soap making, when and where to sow your crops, ghost stories and much, much more besides, using the voices of those who have lived it. If you are after plain speaking, how-to information then these books are ideal; if you want to know how your great grandparents tamed the wilderness it's all in here.
