- Maddox, Marie. (1993) A lifetime in Gatlinburg Martha Cole Whaley Remembers. History Press Charleston, SC.
This is a delightful book written by Marie Maddox from interviews with Martha Whaley. What a treasure. I fell on it at a yard sale. Since I’m writing a novel based in the hills “back in the day,†I thought it might give me some interesting information, and it didn’t disappoint. Martha was 103 at the writing and revealed how to stay healthy and live to old age. Nothing new but so inspirational cut back on meat, eat veggies, exercise more, and be social. (My Aunt Nikolena suggested the same and lived to 104.). Ms. Maddox walked a mile every day—what an example. I was so motivated I started walking again, and I must buy more veggies, too, since I’ve been slacking there.
Great stories throughout including her loving marriage. Those from or who visit the Smoky Mountain region will love it as will anyone interested in how people lived happy lives without the accouterments we have today. No electricity, no running water, making soap, fetching coal and wood, canning, etc. How did they do it!? And they were happy. Okay—confession time. I’m not giving up the Internet, my cell phone, my car, AC & heat, and a bunch of other things, so I’m not going back to 1920s in the hills. But the book helped me be more thankful for the many gifts I have. It might help you recognize your good gifts as well, and your children might like to learn how people used to live and see just how fortunate they are today. - My son wanted the entire Foxfire collection so I purchased all of the books from . He has read all of the books now and while some of the volumes he said did not have much practical instructional information he still enjoyed reading them immensely if just for the story aspect. These books are great for anyone who loves to read about old-fashioned ways of living before modern conveniences were commonplace or for someone who wants to learn how many things were done before things were so readily available. These books would be great for anyone who is of the "survivalist" mindset or anyone who just wants to learn to be more self sufficient.
- I purchased this book to read up on Springhouses, however once started, I couldn't put this book down. I'm very pleased with Everything in this book, and intend to own all of them. The gardening chapter alone, is for me, a goldmine of information.
The Old Fashioned, and SMART way to grow a garden is all there, of course, not everything applies today, but over 3/4 of it does, like what they did in the days before there were any fertilizers available, and why they always planted Irish potatoes first, and way before any other potato. There are way too many jewels of information in this book to post here, however I do believe that if you purchase this book, you will be very pleased, and like me, want to read more of them. Oh, and the Springhouse information turned out to be all the information I needed to do my own. Perfect! - I purchased the Foxfire volumes 1-12 in a single purchase. Highly recommend them if one is looking to learn skills from the "old school." Directions and pictures are very good. Our family is one interested in learning skills from past, such as soap making, cabin building, etc. and we found that these books are a very valuable source of information. There are areas of these books that are simply documentations of folklore and such, especially in the areas of herbal/natural medicine, that one will immediately recognize as ineffective, but it is still interesting to read this folklore anyway. Most of the Foxfire books have incredible, "lost" skills that we find very interesting. The books are good. Your money will be well spent.
- Yet another awesome book! This series is probably my favorite thing ever. If you want to learn about the old ways or just a peek into true “country†life then I suggest you check these out.
- I have been collecting the whole series of these books. There is so much great information in them, on such a wide variety of topics. Also contains some great recipes I plan on trying.
- binding is excellent. photographs printed clearly -- replaces my old originals that I lost
- This is my third volume of the Foxfire books and I enjoy them very much. The stories they contain are timeless. This particular book contains a chapter on wood carving and fiddle making plus gardening the old fashion way. Logging, trading horsses, making tar for axle grease and much more. If you love woods lore and country living the old fashion way you will enjoy the Foxfire books. They have been around awhile but I'm glad to add them to my library.
