Description:

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.

Foxfire 12is the latest volume, the first in more than five years. Here are reminiscences about learning to square dance and tales about traditional craftsmen who created useful items in the old-time ways that have since disappeared in most of the country. Here are lessons on how to make rose beads and wooden coffins, and on how to find turtles in your local pond. We hear the voices of descendants of the Cherokees who lived in the region, and we learn about what summer camp was like for generations of youngsters. We meet a rich assortment of Appalachian characters and listen to veterans recount their war experiences. Illustrated with photographs and drawings,Foxfire 12is a rich trove of information and stories from a fascinating American culture.

FOXFIRE 12

pamperedinthemtns from Hiawassee, Ga., Aug 12, 2009

I love this book for one reason I am from Rabun Co. where the book was written and I am familiar with the people in the book, but even if I wasn't it is a wonderful informative piece of reading material if you are interested in by-gone-day living and crafts.
