From Library Journal Wigginton has declared this the last of the numbered Foxfire books. It commemorates the 20th anniversary of his teaching in Rabun County, Georgia. One of his reasons for discontinuing this format is that the books are no longer reviewed because there is nothing new to say about them. How true. The topics are all that changes, and some of them are repeated. This collection emphasizes home remedies, trading and general stores, quilting, wagon making, and log cabin making. Essential for school and public libraries whether or not they have previous books.Sondra Brunhumer, Western Michigan Univ. Libs . , Kalamazoo Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.

"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 ... 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 life"--Page 4 of cover 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. The ninth volume of the series includes information about general stores, the Jud Nelson wagon, a praying rock, a Catawban Indian potter, "haint" tales, quilting, home cures, and more on the log cabin.
