Foxfire 2 Paperback - 1973
by Foxfire Fund Inc; Eliot Wigginton (Editor)
Summary
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.
This second volume celebrates the rites and customs of Appalachia, and includes sections on old-time burials, midwives, granny women, witches, and haints - as well as a variety of the kind of spirited firsthand narrative accounts from Appalachian community members that exemplify the *Foxfire* style.
From the jacket flap
This second Foxfire volume includes topics such as ghost stories, spinning and weaving, wagon making, midwifing, corn shuckin', and more.
