Notes

General Note
Includes Cumulative index for the Foxfire book, Foxfire 2, and Foxfire 3.
Description
Interviews and essays describe the way of life and crafts of pioneer America still surviving in the Appalachian region.
Description
In 1966, in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Georgia, A teacher and his students founded a quarterly magazine that they named Foxfire, after a phosphorescent lichen. In 1972, several articles from the magazine were published in book form and the acclaimed Foxfire series was born. Some thirty years later, the books continue to teach a philosophy of simplicity in living that is truly enduring in its appeal. Much more than how to books, the Foxfire series is a publishing phenomenon and a way of life, teaching creative self-sufficiency, the art of natural remedies, home crafts, and other country folkways, fascinating to everyone interested in rediscovering the virtues of simple living.
Description
This third volume celebrates the lively and homespun heritage of Appalachia, and includes sections on hide tanning, building a lumber kiln, and making apple butter and corn-shuck mops-as well as a variety of the kind of spirited firsthand narrative accounts from Appalachian community members that exemplify the Foxfire style.
