		FOXFIRE by Joyce Carol Oates is a haunting tale of the relationships developed among groups of outcasts and "leftovers," marginalized by the established mainstream.

	The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center ~ Mountain City, Georgia
		The Foxfire chapel is a replica structure built mostly from an old barn that was too deteriorated to reassemble.
		(Aunt Arie told Foxfire that all of her and her husband, Ulyss’s, furniture was made by a local furniture maker and was paid for with produce.) The uniqueness of this chair is that no glue, nails, or tacks are used.
		Foxfire asks that you visit the Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center to join them in celebration of the past and to support their educational programs.

	The Foxfire Book: Hog Dressing, Log Cabin Building, Mountain Crafts and Foods, Planting by the Signs, Snake Lore, ...
		This is the original book compilation of Foxfire material which introduces Aunt Arie and her contemporaries and includes log cabin building, hog dressing, snake lore, mountain crafts and food, and "other affairs of plain living."
		The people who contributed their knowledge & wisdom to these books are a resource that has largely been lost to us, and it's a shame that more of us don't realize the wisdom that is missing in this world with the deaths of these oldtimers (as the books were written in the 70's primarily).
		The Foxfire books were one of the sources that I turned to in an effort to learn about the process.

		Originally the Foxfire project was a way of getting students more actively involved in the learning process by interviewing local residents about regional culture and history.
		Now, almost thirty years later, the books are still popular because they teach a philosophy of simplicity in living that is very appealing to citizens in our high-tech, stressful world.
		The fourteen Foxfire books, along with thousands of other regional books, are available at the Jesse Stuart Foundation Bookstore, 1645 Winchester Avenue in downtown Ashland.

	The Foxfire Book Series
		Our customer service staff has selected the Foxfire Book series because these books are an important recorded chronicle of useful country living information and are of historical value.
		These books are a written recording of a series of interviews conducted over several years with the rural mountain country people of the Great Smoky Mountains.
		These books were not meant to be a series of specific how-to-do books, rather they are a recording of country living methods and skills gathered and used over the years by the Appalachian mountain folks, and how these skills and methods were used by the people at the time.

	Foxfire 5 (Foxfire) by Anchor Books
		I thought the Foxfire books were trying to preserve the crafts.
		Instead, this book concentrates more on the personalities; how they felt about the craft, what their work was like, what they did day by day, places and people they worked for, how much money they made, the people they ran into along the way.
		If you've never read these books, it may be difficult, since the text is written in the vernacular of the mountain folk, but this adds to the charm and "character" of the books.

	BurtonBlog.com - Foxfire Teaching Excellence
		To make a long and colorful story short, the “Foxfire” books sold over 8.5 million copies at near $20 per copy and were not only the largest selling book in Double Day’s history, but the entire project must stand as the most successful educational project ever conceived.
		The kids knew what to do – they asked great questions, took excellent pictures – I watched the “Foxfire” books happen in front of me. It was extremely impressive – students took entire ownership of their project and saw it from the brainstorm session to national publication.
		Wigginton’s “Foxfire” kids were doing what most classrooms fail to do: They fully involved a segment of the community that normally would not have any interest in school activities (in the case of the older Appalachian folks – most were uneducated and hated school) and made them champions of the school system.
