Anyone else ever read any of these books? Great for cabin life. Hillbilly Instructions.

Bonus points if pdf copies exist. They are a little hard to find.

They're all google-able, but I'd never heard of them until your post. Grabbing the first 6 at the moment because you've piqued my interest.

I googled "eliot wiggington foxfire pdf" and found plenty of results. Just had to reformat this post to remove other links 'cuz 4chan thinks it's spam.

Check the download of 1-6 and checked it--it's good. I can't seem to out-smart the spam filter, so link is pic-related.

I downloaded them in pdf for my kindle but they were scanned as shitty quality images instead of text, let me know if that link is better.

My dad had a few of the books when I was growing up but I didnt do anything more then skim them

Not seeing them there; any chance you can package 'em up and post elsewhere?

Yes. We had them in school and had to use them sometimes for reports, essays or whatever.

They are not hardcore survival textbooks. They are basically compendiums recounting the oral traditions of the Appalachian culture. They are really a grab bag of different topics. Everything from how to make your own banjo to faith healing and stories about random hillbilly shit.

I personally love them and find them a great addition to ones library but I have a feeling that a lot of people wouldn't like them. If you are into basket weaving, moonshine and stuff like that you'd like them. If you are some tacticool hi tech mall ninja you would probably hate them.

According to my grandpa, who lived in the mountains when there was still no electricity, those books are "about 80% bullshit" that's a quote.

Which mountains? Because the info in Foxfire is almost strictly from the north Georgia part of the Appalachias.

That area, just north east of Jasper to be exact. It's right next to the Toccoa river
