    Foxfire Books 7

However, having the entire collection up to this point, (12 Volumes) gives and entire new meaning to knowing about "Just Plain Living", and how to survive with very little. What started out as a class assignment in an Appalachia high school has become a valuable lesson in life itself. I would recommend this series highly to researchers, history buffs and survivalists alike.

  • Informative

    The Foxfire book is very informing. The people that put the book together put a lot of work into getting the facts straight and giving an unbiased report of their interviews
