For almost half a century, Foxfire has brought the philosophy
of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers, teaching
creative self-sufficiency and preserving the stories, crafts, and
customs of Appalachia. Inspiring and practical, this classic
series has become an American institution.
The Foxfire 45th Anniversary Book continues the beloved tradition
of celebrating a simpler life, this time with a focus on
Appalachian music, folk legends, and a history full of outsized
personalities. We hear the encouraging life stories of banjo
players, gospel singers, and bluegrass musicians who reminisce
about their first time playing at the Grand Ole Opry; we shiver at
the spine-tingling collection of tall tales, from ghosts born of
long-ago crimes to rumors of giant catfish that lurk at the bottom
of lakes and quarries; we recollect the Farm Family Program that
sustained and educated Appalachian families for almost fifty years,
through the Depression and beyond; and we learn the time-honored
skills of those who came before, from building a sled to planting
azaleas and braiding a leather bull-whip. Full of spirited
narrative accounts and enduring knowledge, The Foxfire 45th
Anniversary Book is a piece of living history from a fascinating
American culture.
