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 clear, step-by-step instructions.

Volume three of this series covers animal care, banjos and dulcimers, wild plant foods, butter churns, ginseng and more.

Reviews

When I borrow a house in the mountains and this is on the bookshelf: these are my people. Like how I know I’m close to home when all the bumper stickers start saying “My grass is blue.”

The banjo and dulcimer section was extra fascinating. I’ve been reciting a steady stream of these facts and stories for two weeks. Now I’ve got to fill in the gap with Foxfire #2 that’s on my own shelf.
