The Foxfire 45th Anniversary Book: Singin', Praisin', Raisin' (Foxfire Series)

The book was very well written. It of course covers life as it was in the Appalachian Hills and the recipes and music of the people.

Fantastic reading. Very useful information all through this book and the info just might be very to have knowledge of in case the need ever arises. Entertaining for quiet reading. The FoxFire books all relate to the era of mountain life then and even today. I would recommend everyone get to know the history of such regions. I own several Foxfire books and cherish the collection. There are many illustrations and photos too! Sit back in a comfortable position with a warm beverage on a cold Winters day or enoy reading while sipping a cold drink on a warming Spring day. Regardless, these books offer pleasant reading anytime. The series have a way of reminding me just how much technology and the haste in society has nearly forgotten just how we got here as a nation. Enjoy!

Bought this title 8 years ago. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the musical groups cited in the book recently. Bought this book to send to one of the members of the group. Thank you Amazon for being there!

I purchased this book for my son's birthday and I knew he would enjoy it since he has been collecting the Foxfire books for several years. He loves the out doors and a simple way of life we have lost but the books are almost a step back into that time. This particular issuse is also a celebration of the popularity of these books for all these years. I read them as a young mother and I'm happy my son wants them in his library. They are timeless so if you enjoy knowing the old ways of living you will love the Foxfire series.

It is vey interesting and educational. Show how life should really be.

I am hooked on these books and this one meets my expectations just as it's predecessors have done. This book continues the tradition of preserving the history, culture, and folkways of southern Appalachia. Over the years, the production costs have caused the books to be a little less sturdy but that is the only negative I found. If you have read and enjoyed any other Foxfire publications then you will probably enjoy this one too, especially if you love gospel and mountain music and the instruments peculiar to the region.

We wanted to get this one to go with our 40th. Wanted to complete our Foxfire books. Stories are always good because they are about old times and ways.

A sad book for me actually. The end of a series, the end of a type of life this country will never see again. As all of the Foxfire books, well written and read twice already by me.Buy the whole set while you still can. That way your children will get a glimpse of what America once was, and how far downhill we've come.
