Why people recommend it
The Foxfire Book is a well-known cultural compilation edited by Eliot Wigginton that preserves the traditional folkways, Appalachian crafts, and vanishing rural practices of Southern mountain communities. On an episode of Stuff They Don't Want You To Know titled CLASSIC: Serial Killers on the Loose: Part 2 released on December 29, 2022, Ben Bowlin discussed the publication after receiving correspondence from a listener. Specifically, a listener named Trent had submitted an email detailing folk remedies for burns, noting a secret tradition where knowledge could only be passed between individuals of the opposite sex who were not blood relatives. Responding to this listener submission, Ben Bowlin referenced the famous Foxfire books, pointing his audience toward the series as a valuable resource for discovering these types of traditional folk remedies and historical survival skills.
