Paperback book titled 'Foxfire 2: Ghost Stories, Spring Wild Plant Foods, Spinning and Weaving, Midwifing, Burial Customs, Corn Shuckin's, Wagon Making' edited by Eliot Wigginton and his students

The Foxfire series originated in 1966 as a student magazine project in Rabun Gap, Georgia, led by high school teacher Eliot Wigginton. Students documented Appalachian folk culture, traditions, and crafts through interviews with local elders, preserving disappearing knowledge about self-sufficient living, traditional crafts, and mountain wisdom. The project evolved into a bestselling book series published by Anchor Press/Doubleday, with Foxfire 2 released in 1973 as the second volume. This book appeals to collectors of Americana, cultural anthropology enthusiasts, craft practitioners, and those interested in Appalachian heritage and oral history preservation. The Foxfire series is valued for its authentic documentation of traditional American folkways and its innovative educational approach, making it significant to educators, historians, and anyone interested in sustainable living practices and vanishing cultural traditions.
