Has anyone read the "FOXFIRE" books?

By Earl Wigginton?

They are a great way to capture a part of America that is disappearing with the passing generations. They detail all sorts of crafts and customs from the past. It's a great read if you like to read about the past. It deals with the way people in rural Appalachia lived and survived.

Yep. I read quite a few of them when I was fourteen or fifteen. Neat stuff.

My little bro used the info in one of them to make a miniature, functioning alcohol still.
