With the publication of Foxfire 9 in the fall of 1986, the series of numbered volumes documenting Appalachian crafts and traditions is now complete. The entire series is as follows:
The Foxfire Book: Hog dressing, log cabin building, mountain crafts and foods, planting by the signs, snake lore, hunting tales, faith healing, moonshining, and other affairs of plain living.
Foxfire 2: Ghost stories, spring wild plant foods, spinning and weaving, midwifing, burial customs, corn shuckin’s, wagon making and more affairs of plain living.
Foxfire 3: Animal care, banjos and dulcimers, hide tanning, summer and fall wild plant foods, butter churns, ginseng, and still more affairs of plain living.
Foxfire 4: Fiddle making, springhouses, horse trading, sassafras tea, berry buckets, gardening, and further affairs of plain living.
Foxfire 5: Ironmaking, blacksmithing, flintlock rifles, bear hunting, and other affairs of plain living.
Foxfire 6: Shoemaking, 100 toys and games, gourd banjos and song bows, wooden locks, a water-powered sawmill, and other affairs of just plain living.
Foxfire 7: Ministers, church members, revivals, baptisms, shaped-note and gospel singing, faith healing, camp meetings, foot-washing, snake handling, and other traditions of mountain religious heritage.
Foxfire 8: Southern folk pottery from pug mills, ash glazes, and groundhog kilns to face jugs, churns, and roosters; mule swapping and chicken fighting.
Foxfire 9: General stores, the Jud Nelson wagon, a praying rock, a Catawba Indian potter—and haint tales, quilting, home cures, and log cabins revisited.
Research is now under way for a new group of future titles, also by our students, that will document other aspects of the Appalachian experience. Sometimes a Shining Moment, Eliot Wigginton’s landmark work on education, will be available in paperback in the fall of 1986.
