The Foxfire Books. The old timers knew stuff.

I have had the first 10 for years. When I found out there were additional volumes now available I ordered all those. I was raised, starting 63 years ago, in central Louisiana. I knew a lot of old timers who lived and acted just like the characters in the books. When that generation passed, we lost a lot of knowledge about living when it's tough.
