Loved the remedies. Have actually had some tried on me as a kid. Some worked. ( )

The book, and the other Foxfire books that follow, was created in the 1960s and 70s by high schoolers in Appalachia for a school magazine. They interview elders and learn techniques for building stills, making rush baskets, building houses, etc., that were then and still are in danger of being lost. Excellent and highly recommended, for survivalists, back-to-the-landers, cooks, and interested folks alike.

A collection of life events and lore in the Appalachian Mountains. This isn't just a commentary but also has real instructions and recipes. ( )

The log cabin building, basket weaving and animal skinning and cooking are fascinating but the home remedies are hilarious! Here's one for you....to cure a nose bleed place scissors, points up, on your neck LOL Yup, I can see when your getting stuck in the chin with scissor blades that you would draw so much blood that you wouldn't *notice* that your nose was bleeding!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOL
