Customer Reviews

Wonderful Book!

A welcome addition to the Fox Fire series. I first read the Fox Fire books back in the 1970's. They were very insightful and informative books then and appealed to the "back to Earth" movement of the time. This book is not a continuation of that series, but a compliment to it. The information and wisdom in this book is timeless and would appeal to all Americans, regardless of individual background. America has come a long way from the homespun stories in this book, but it is always refreshing to look back and see where we came from. All of us. This book should be a high school text book and required reading for all Americans.

Get it Done

I bought all of the Foxfire Books and shared them with my son. We enjoy the vastness of the practical knowledge in all phases of life. These books help us GET IT DONE!

Four decades of Foxfire

The "Foxfire 40th Anniversary Book" is a wonderful tribute to the people of Appalachia as they shared memories of their lives and culture with us. This book follows the same down-to-earth tone as the preceeding volumes. The earlier ones were very informative and enjoyable, and this one certainly lives up to that standard.
