Book Description
In the late 1960s, Eliot Wigginton and his students created the magazine Foxfire in an effort to record and preserve the traditional folk culture of the Southern Appalachians. This is the original book compilation of Foxfire material which introduces Aunt Arie and her contemporaries and includes log cabin building, hog dressing, snake lore, mountain crafts and food, and "other affairs of plain living."

Reliving the Past.......2007-09-04
If you are interested in learning how our forefathers lived without the modern day conveniences that we enjoy today, this book is a must read. You will learn how they survived without much income and you could learn something beneficial that you never knew.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST IN THIS GENRE.......2007-03-26
The Foxfire books are a wonderful thing and we are so lucky to have them. Many of the ways, crafts, planting lore, animal lore, and as the book says "affairs of plain living" are preserved here. This particular volume includes different wood and it's uses, Mountain Recipes, Slaughtering Hogs, weather signs faith healing and so very, very much more. this is a wonderful recording of life the way it was and probably never will be again. The book is quite well written and has faithfully recorded even the dialect of these wonderful people, from which so many of us sprung. That is a big part of the charm of these works. This book includes actual interviews with folks from that region of the country which I am sure are long dead now. Their knowledge would be completely lost without works such as this. Another generation or two and it will all be completely gone. Thank goodness we have recordings such as this. Recommend this one highly.
NO IDEA what they're saying.......2007-01-18
I heard about this book and thought, "OH I'm from the South and this book will be lovely to read to find out about how things used to be." And I would probably have been right if I could have made out what they were talking about. The slang is much too thick for me. I'm not sure anyone could understand it except people who actually are from this region. Thumbs down for no translation.
buy it and use it.......2006-06-18
Don't get me wrong the entire series is amazing. Book one is the best and one of the more practical. The chapter on log cabin building was my inspiration to build my own cabin. At least 75% of the cabin was directions from this very book. Reading a Foxfire (any of them) does something to you that's hard to explain. I think of Foxfire books as almost a self-help guide that teaches you how to slow down for a minute. I recommend this book for anybody with high blood pressure or some kind of anxiety problem. It's therapeutic. These students met some really neat people of Appalachia. We can't let this way of life fade away as it almost has in my hometown, Knoxville.
An incredible resource of "oldtimer" wisdom.......2006-04-15
I've inherited the first seven, origional print books from my dad, and bought 8 and 9 for myself just a year ago, and I must say that I've always enjoyed reading these books. The people who contributed their knowledge & wisdom to these books are a resource that has largely been lost to us, and it's a shame that more of us don't realize the wisdom that is missing in this world with the deaths of these oldtimers (as the books were written in the 70's primarily).
I rate this book right up there with Carla Emery's books, as a great resource for folks trying to get back to a more self-sufficient way of life and providing for themselves, their families, and even friends & neighbours. These books definitely give a sense of old-fashioned camaraderie and willingness to help your neighbour in time of need (and in times of plenty).

Great Camps of the Adirondacks

Book Description
Best-selling author and log home expert Robbin Obomsawin features the rustic and charming architecture of the Adirondack great camps of the Northeast in her newest book. Established during the early twentieth century by wealthy rail and oil barons such as the Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers, the Adirondack camps served as the preeminent playground for those who wanted to escape industrial city life and reconnect with nature. Today, these classic camps represent the best of rustic style.

The Andirondack Camps & Mansions of Bygone Days........2006-09-03
In the late 19th century, the wealthy men who wanted to impress poured some of their money into large mansions like Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C., only in New York they opted for the "Adirondack style" with a rustic flavor. Floor plans for the cabins are included in this picture book complete with the history of this area. Later they were turned into camps for rich kids. Some of these camps such as Santanoni were operating for one hundred years, from 1850 to 1950. Only a few survive today.
Resort hotels sprang up during that era as retreats to nature from the environs of New York City. Hotel Champlain and Sagamore resorts for the luxury and culture of a period in U. S. history of radical change, are still operating. In Giles County in Middle Tennessee, we have such a place called the Milky Way Farm. Not much of the farm is intact, as parcels were sold to people who desired to live there, not to investors. However, the intriguing home built in the center of the property by the Mars family used local labor and is still open and splendid, inside and out. It has passed from mostly spectulators trying for a bed and breakfast or some such money-making operation. Some rooms are decorated in the style of the times using the original furnishings. The outside stone horse barns ahve disappeared, but the stone fences surrounding the fields leading up to the house which were built by the WPA workers, are still visible. The dining room used for special events has a round table built in that room, as it is too large to get through any of the doors. I ate there when Vo-Tech hosted a supper for public officials and the school's teachers and staff. I was part of the staff at that time. In New York, they are seen as relics of a bygone world of the super-rich. Built by and for the Rockefellers, Astors, Roosevelts, Vanderbilts, etc. who needed to escape the industrial city life and reconnect with nature. Now, there are million dollar homes there.
Santanoni is located hihg up in the peaks of the Adirondacks Mountains. The expanse is impressive and includes 12,500 acres in Newcomb. The main lodge build with a Japanese temple effect still shows the grandeur of the past as lived by the rich and famous.
Pretty, Terrific Photos, but a Little Bland Here and There.......2006-03-23
I mostly buy more practical Adk books, but I thought it would be nice to have something more glossy ... a coffee-table type book for fun. I have to give the author major praise for including a great variety of camps/cabins, all the way from big, million-dollar homes down to tiny one-roomers. (There is even a section called "Small Gems," which is what I want to build, so I was very happy.) It is, I should also say, a beautiful book. Fabulous photos. I got lots of ideas about authentic Adk architectural touches, types of siding, interior ideas, etc. And I really appreciated that I didn't feel "outclassed," that it wasn't a book full of mansions. The text is pretty random, but all the same, I'm glad I bought it.
Lots of Adirondack history but- - -.......2005-06-07
I feel that Robin Obomsawin did a much better job with her previous books by adding alot more pictures of the insides of the homes she wrote about. I was sadly disappointed that there were not more pictures of Adirondack homes. I have been very happy with her other books because of the beautiful pictures taken on the interiors, but this book was lacking in pictures of just that- interiors. I really looked forward to this book being released and bought it "sight unseen" and was deeply let down that inside the book, it lacked more pictures of cozy cabin retreats, showcasing all the rooms and decorating where I get my inspirations and ideas from. The author was very clear and informative on the adirondack history though and the building materials used on these types of houses.

Thirteen Moons: A Novel
ASIN: 0807843288 |
Book Description
In 1928 New York native Muriel Earley Sheppard moved with her mining engineer husband to the Toe River Valley an isolated pocket in North Carolina between the Blue Ridge and Iron Mountains. Sheppard began visiting her neighbors and forming friendships in remote coves and rocky clearings, and in 1935 her account of life in the mountainsCabins in the Laurelwas published. The book included 128 striking photographs by the well-known Chapel Hill photographer, Bayard Wootten, a frequent visitor to the area.
The early reviews of Cabins in the Laurel were overwhelmingly positive, but the mountain peopleSheppard's friends and subjectsinitially felt that she had portrayed them as too old-fashioned, even backward. As novelist John Ehle shows in his foreword, though, fifty years have made a huge difference, and the people of the Toe River Valley have been among its most affectionate readers.
This new large-format edition, which makes use of many of Wootten's original negatives, will introduce Sheppard's words and Wootten's photography to a whole new generation of readersin the Valley and beyond.
Book Description
Scott and his friends had waited over two years for their first wilderness camping adventure. Curiosity and a Kodak moment was enough to cause them to leave the train surrounded by dense fog.

Mountain Cabin Mystery.......2007-05-16
My older two boys who are 8 and 10 years old LOVED these books. I have one boy who doesn't like to read, but it was easy getting him to read everyday with this series of books! They would come tell me everything that happened in the part they read that day. I'm so glad I found an adventure that they like to read and isn't harsh on their little minds.
Great read for youngster getting ready for camp.......2006-05-04
Reviewed by Kelli Glesige for Reader Views (5/06)
"Mountain Cabin Mystery" is an adventure about Scott, Al and Benji; three young friends who are taking a required wilderness class with the hopes of being accepted on a summer backpacking trip in the Colorado Rockies. After much work and being turned down twice already, the twelve year old boys are selected to be a part of the Wilderness Wanderers group specifically labeled as Timber Wolves.
This story by Max Elliot Anderson is packed with excitement and danger, just what a reluctant reader might take to! The boys do many things right, but they also neglect some of the important rules learned about backpacking in dangerous territory. Brian is one of trail leaders who is also a youth pastor at his church in Denver. The young man promises to share the research he is doing for his Master's Degree on what he has learned about environmental issues versus Christian issues in dealing with the environment, as this becomes a topic of discussion and concern for Scott. In my opinion, this was a minor subplot, but some may find it a relevant topic.
Anderson deals with some very real and frightening issues in "Mountain Cabin Mystery." The boys mistakenly find themselves on a restricted military zone where the U.S. Army is conducting mountain training exercises on a search and capture mission. The simulated drills are cancelled when the boys stumble upon terrorists with maps and satellite pictures ready to wipe out important targets around the city of Denver. The boys learn that sleeper cells exist in nearby locations, just waiting for the signal to do as much damage as possible to innocent victims.
The boys ingeniously use a harmless laser pointer and a flash camera to lure the terrorists from hiding, making the terrorists think they are being stalked with a high powered weapon with a laser sight. The boys foil the terrorists' escape by flattening the tires of the escape vehicle. Scott, Al and Benji are eventually awarded by authorities for saving many lives and for doing the right thing in the face of danger. The underlying message of those searching for the young campers brings to mind God's words, "My lamb was lost and I'd do anything to find you," says Benji's father.
This book seemed quite intense, dealing with dangers we unfortunately face on a daily basis. Anderson dedicated this book to the memory of 9/11, and I found this to be a moving gesture. The story will definitely keep you riveted while frantically turning pages to learn the outcome!
Although fiction, I recommend "Mountain Cabin Mystery" to any beginner interested in backpacking in the wilderness. It is filled with good information about safety in the wilderness, what to do in case of emergencies, and what can happen if specific directions are not followed. This would make a great read for a youngster getting ready for camp. I recommend reading this book to all who've enjoyed Anderson's other books, for this is one of his best.
A very nicely crafted, attentention riveting adventure tale.......2004-12-07
Part of the Baker Trittin Press "Tweener Press Adventure Series" for young readers, Mountain Cabin Mystery finds that Scott and his friends on a wilderness camping trip when curiosity and a Kodak moment causes them to leave the trail. That's when the find themselves surrounded by a dense fog, facing a menacing bear, finding a remote cabin that seems to offer shelter --- proves to be a trapped encounter with terrorists! A very nicely crafted, attentention riveting adventure tale, Mountain Cabin Mystery is especially recommended reading for children ages 10 to 14.
Fast-paced Adventure.......2004-06-27
Max Elliot Anderson, writer of Adventures for readers ages 8 to 13, has penned another winner with "Mountain Cabin Mystery." Within hours of its arrival in my mail, I had put aside my other chores to sit down and read the fourth book of Max's Mystery Series. At one time, Anderson was a reluctant reader. He has successfully exceeded in his goal to turn other reluctant readers into eager ones. Although his stories are aimed at pre and early teens, this Grandmother has thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of Max Elliott Anderson's books.
Scott and his best friends, Al and Ben, have been dreaming of a wilderness camping adventure. They each completed and passed the wilderness training classes and are eagerly awaiting the response to their application to the Colorado Wilderness Camping Adventure. Delighted to finally receive their acceptance notice, they prepare, unaware that they will experience more on the trip than expected. I don't want to give away Anderson's action-packed, riveting plot, but I promise, you will not be able to put down the book until the final page. Max Elliott Anderson's books are so interesting I hope the publisher will consider printing boxed sets as gifts for young readers. Anderson's previous titles - Newspaper Caper, Terror at Wolf Lake, and North Woods Poachers - are equally entertaining and action oriented. Max tells me he has four more books ready for release this year. Max Elliot Anderson's books are destined to become classics along with such greats as Tom Sawyer, The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Anderson is a talented writer; his books should be available in every local and middle school library. I am privileged to be on this author's list of reviewers and look forward eagerly to his next adventure.

Book Description
Memory and Myth is an interdisciplinary study of the Civil War and its enduring impact on American writers and filmmakers. Its twenty-five chapters are all concerned, in one way or another, with creative responses to the Civil War, and the ways in which artists have sought to make sense of the war and to convey their findings to succeeding generations of readers and filmgoers. The book also examines the role of movies and television in transmuting the historical memories of the Civil War into durable, ever-changing myths.
Book Description
With its overhanging eaves, exposed rafters, fieldstone verandas, open floor plans, and fine woodwork, the bungalow has become a quintessential model of American architecture. A hybrid import from abroad over a century ago, its suitability for country living quickly led to its adoption throughout the United States. However, many modern homes lack the jaunty, distinctive style and attention to detail that characterize older bungalows and mountain houses. This unrivalled classic reveals the designs of thirty-two American architects, including descriptions of materials, siting, sanitation, color, furnishings, and an entire chapter devoted to camps, lodges, and log cabins. More than a lovely expression of old-fashioned charm, these plans can easily be adapted to create a modern vacation home or country cottage.

Scorpions and lost dogs and bears - oh, my!.......2005-09-04
I've been shacking up with Amy Blackmarr for several years now, first in a cabin in South Georgia, then a strange house with fifty-two steps out in Kansas. And, more recently, back to another Georgia cabin -- this one in the North Georgia mountains, where it, as Blackmarr writes, "sits alone near the crest of a solitary hill in the Yahoola Valley, gathered in among white pines and scarlet oaks, mosses and ferns, mountain laurel and rhododendron."
At first it was just the two of us, with Blackmarr vicariously taking me along as she lived like a hermit, forsaking all others, except for her ubiquitous dogs, in her first two books, "Going to Ground: Simple Life on a Georgia Pond," and "House of Steps: Finding the Path Home." But, when I began reading her third book in this series of essays, "Above the Fall Line: The Trail from White Pine Cabin," we became a threesome: a literary menage a trois. That's because when I read some of Blackmarr's eloquent words aloud to my wife, I then had to read the entire book to her -- chapter by chapter. Well, I guess it did seem more proper this time, with my wife along.
Reading Amy Blackmarr's trio of flights to temporary dwellings is like peeking inside someone's diaries, sharing not only the richness of her solitude and the glory of her nature hikes, but her intimate thoughts as well. She writes, "Three divorces before I turned thirty, not to mention all my other failed romances, had cinched the whole relationship thing for me." And yet she admits to "scanning crowds for the long-haired, blue-eyed blond hero who would recognize me the instant he saw me."
In each of her books, this modern-day Thoreau encounters creatures large and small, dangerous and otherwise, and in "Above the Fall Line," she comes upon scorpions in the shower, snakes in the woods, and even a black bear that seems interested in her spoiled pork roast. Even the simple act of taking out the trash turns into a hilarious episode. The author also deals with the loss of a treasured dog, a graduate school disappointment, and another failed relationship. Though a lot of the book is indeed about loss, Blackmarr is in a constant process of rebirth and reevaluation, where failures are realized simply as "trail trees" that point to happier hunting grounds, and a sundown is merely a passage to tomorrow's great adventures down pathways, hillsides and streambeds.
Her "Above the Fall Line" ends in 2003 as, she writes, "The crows are calling, and the wind is up..." So I know she's out there right now, somewhere, living and writing down our next nature quest. You would do well to shack up with Amy Blackmarr -- even if your spouse does insist on tagging along.
Masterful weaver.......2004-02-11
If you've ever walked in the woods, loved a dog, lost a dog, lost a love, failed at school or been to camp, you will relish Amy Blackmarr's essays in Above the Fall Line. Blackmarr returns to her native Georgia from Kansas, where life dealt her some blows, to live in a tiny cabin in the mountains. There she reflects on her surroundings and everyday events, masterfully weaving irony and insight but avoiding sentimentality. Her topics range from romance gone bad to her dog's encounter with a bear, and her wry observations allow the reader to learn from her self-discovery.
Aim for Grace.......2004-02-08
Amy Blackmarr's third book of personal essays may be the best yet. Her sensitive descriptions of the environment, poetic musings, and characteristic flashes of humor make this book a joy to read. The epigraph is a quote from Ann Beattie--"What will happen can't be stopped: aim for grace." I believe that's what Blackmarr did with this book, and she has succeeded admirably.
Book Description
This book presents versatile plans that are readily adapted to luxurious living in a variety of areas, making whatever dream home you have in mind come true. Make the most of spectacular views and bright, airy interior spaces; create a sense of ease and rich comfort with designs that rethink the notion of home.
Customer Reviews:
WOW!.......2003-09-04
This is a detailed book! Two thumbs up!
Plans with Options.......2002-01-19
The plans in this book are refreshing and original. They have a lot of contemporary amenities such as big master suites and great rooms; but for the most part, these homes are fiarly reasonable in size. It is nice to see a home with under 2,000 sf of living space have a real luxury estate feel to it. Also, most of the plans tend to have a very large garage/basement space which is left for future use as playroom or workshop, which adds a large degree of flexibility to the plans.
I tend to look through home plan books as an imaginative exercise of architectural appreciation, and I'm not looking to build anytime soon. This may make my interest in the book different.
Not what I expected.......2001-06-08
I was hoping to find a nice selection of cabins, cottages, and villas, but what I found instead was perhaps only a handful of floorplans with differing elevations. Although it is a somewhat thick book, it is very deceiving with the variety of the content within it. Unfortunately, there's not too much.
