"First published in 1972, The Foxfire book was a surprise bestseller that brought Appalachia's philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers. Whether you wanted to hunt game, bake the old-fashioned way, or learn the art of successful moonshining, The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center had a contact who could teach you how with ... step-by-step instructions. Today, Foxfire's mission remains the same, and [this book] is both a ... look back at five decades of collected wisdom, as well as [a] ... look forward at the artists and craftsman who are working to preserve the Appalachian tradition for future generations"--Amazon.com.
