People Who Viewed This Viewed

A publishing phenomenon and more, the Foxfire series of books, first published in the 1960s, presented the research of young people involved in the Foxfire oral history project as they recovered the stories, crafts, and traditions of the people of Appalachia, including information about physical objects such as tools, structures, musical instruments, and clothing. This collection continues the wonderful presentation of self-sufficiency, home-spun values, and a simpler, deeper everyday life of a previous time, as it explores three topics: faith, family, and the land.

  • For four decades, Foxfire magazine has been documenting and preserving the life and culture of Southern Appalachia. Drawing on the magazine's published talks by local high school students with elderly rural inhabitants, the books have explored the crafts, cooking, music, gardening and stories that have been passed down through the generations. The focus in this anniversary volume is on devotion to religion, family and the land. Collecting pieces from 40 years' worth of the magazine, the book inevitably covers topics covered in previous Foxfire collections, including snake handling, childhood toys and recipes. But the spoken words remain captivating, eloquent if plainspoken. It's clear that most of the respondents feel, as Eunice Hunter does, that "religion is everything to me." Many of the subjects speak movingly of their belief in the Bible, the power of the Devil, and Judgment Day. Prefatory comments from the editors are more admiring of the culture described (even whipping children as a form of discipline) and condemning of modern society than they are informative and objective. Best to overlook them and let the Appalachian elders speak for themselves. B&w photos. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
