About this product

Product Information

First published in 1972, The Foxfire Book was a surprise bestseller that brought Appalachia's philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers. Whether you wanted to hunt game, bake the old-fashioned way, or learn the art of successful moonshining, The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center had a contact who could teach you how with clear, step-by-step instructions. The fifth Foxfire volume includes rain-making, blacksmithing, bear hunting, flintlock rifles, and more.

  • Happy to find this volume in such good condition

    I treasure all the volumes in this set, but I was missing book 5. It has been out of print for a long time, at least it was out the last time I checked. Anyone who loves Appalachian history and culture should have these books on the shelf. I refer to them often.

  • Foxfire books are great no matter which edition!

    Trying to complete my collection of the original editions of Foxfire books. All great content and a treasure of lost knowledge. Foxfire 5 features blacksmithing, iron making and flintlock rifles. Living in North Carolina, I am also interested in bears, although I do not think I would ever go bear hunting. I recommend you get all editions of Foxfire and treasure them on your bookshelf!

  • Foxfire series #5

    I have been collecting the Foxfire Book series for several years and each one is compelling in its own right. 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.
