fiddle making, springhouses, horse traing, sassafras tea, berry buckets, gardening, and further affairs of plain living

This fourth volume celebrates the home life and creative heritage of Appalachia, featuring sections on fiddle making, springhouses, horse trading, sassafras tea, berry buckets, knife making, wood carving, logging, cheese making, and gardening.

I love this series and am collecting them one-by-one. While I don't hail from Appalachia, I come from nearby and hail from stocky, rural, holler kin. Eliot Wigginton did us all a favor with this pervasive collection of knowledge from Appalachian mountain folk.

One day I hope to cozy up with this series and learn something new. I love reading the stories from the community elders. They are so great! ( )
