For those who enjoy verbal and tangible how-to books, the Foxfire series is an amazing collection of skills and lore out of Appalachia. An English teacher sought to make a magazine with his class where students went to the elders in Northeast Georgia to learn about homesteading, wildcrafting and stories of the local area past down generations. The language in the books keeps space for local ancestry and the Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center in the Chattahoochee National Forest has artifacts and archives from this series and the people who shared their stories. English teacher Eliot Wigginton received a MacArthur Foundation fellowship for in 1989 his work creating the Foxfire project.
