Bracken Grotto: livin off the land (Back to Basics)

BOOKS

I love books on pioneering methods. Hers some of my favorites I currently cant put down. I know there are a great deal of them out there, and these are just a few I'm familiar with. If you have any similar suggested reads, I would greatly appreciate it!

Another book along the same lines and also worth buying is The Encyclopedia of Country Living: An Old Fashioned Recipe Book by Carla Emery.http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Country-Living-Fashioned-Recipe/dp/0912365951

This is the best Australian organic gardening book I've read. This book actually taught me things I didn't know, Easy Organic Gardening and Moon Planting by Lyn Bagnall.

Foxfire books:

In 1966, an English teacher and students in Northeast Georgia founded a quarterly magazine, not only as a vehicle to learn the required English curriculum, but also to teach others about the customs, crafts, traditions, and lifestyle of their Appalachian culture. Named Foxfire after a local phosphorescent lichen, the magazine became one of the most beloved publications in American culture.For four decades, Foxfire has brought the philosophy of simple living to readers, teaching creative self-sufficiency, home crafts, and the art of natural remedies, and preserving the stories of Appalachia. This anniversary edition brings us generations of voices and lessons about the three essential Appalachian values of faith, family, and the land. We listen to elders share their own memories of how things used to be, and to the new generations eager to preserve traditional values in a more complicated world. There are descriptions of old church services, of popular Appalachian games and pastimes, and of family recipes. Rich with memories and useful lessons, this is a fitting tribute to this inspiring and practical publication that has become a classic American institution
The original series consists of twelve books and were published from 1976 through 2004. Two additional volumes were published commemorating the twenty-fifth and the fortieth anniversaries of the magazine. There are also seven related books that many people consider to be part of the series.
