Love this book. Amazing range of subjects.

ReplyDeleteWe found The Foxfire Book on our bookshelf yesterday. Included in that gem: hog dressing, log cabin building, mountain crafts and foods, planting by the signs, snake lore, hunting tails, faith healing, moonshining and other affairs of plain living.
