Foxfire has brought the philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers, teaching creative self-sufficiency and preserving the stories, crafts, and customs of Appalachia. Inspiring and practical, this classic series has become an American institution. In July 2016, Vintage Shorts celebrates Foxfire's 50th Anniversary.

A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil. Ossman & Steel’s Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day “backwoods” healers interested to use them today. The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, styes, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richard’s hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

Just as Horrace Kepharts Camping and Woodcraft gave a how-to-guide for outdoorsman, Jean Marlowes "Smoky Mountain Secrets" gives readers an easy to follow tutorial of how, for generations, the Cherokee and Appalachian settlers used the plentiful natural plants of this great land for all kinds of ailments and treatments. Many of the medicines today, albeit chemical versions, are still derived from the knowledge of what our ancestors learned years ago. Many of the folks in Western North Carolina still use the remedies that Miss Marlowe has compiled into this concise book plus Jean takes it a step further and shares traditions that were passed down to her with instructions and guidance on how to best prepare, care for and transform these natural herbs into medicinal use. In addition to these wonderful writings, Ms. Marlowe has also dedicated much of her life and time to advocating for patients rights to treat themselves with the natural medicines provided by our Creator. This is something that Jean believes so passionately in that she has made sacrifices that many of us could not imagine. Jean not only possesses the wisdom and knowledge but also the courage to fight for the beliefs that were instilled upon her from a young age. I am so thankful for Jeans vision and look forward to her continued journey down this path of bringing awareness to the insights that our ancestors learned generations ago. Once you get a chance to know Jean and her writings, I think you will agree. Kevin & Ann Beauchesne, Bryson City, NC.

In the first comprehensive exploration of the history and practice of folk medicine in the Appalachian region, Anthony Cavender melds folklore, medical anthropology, and Appalachian history and draws extensively on oral histories and archival sources from the nineteenth century to the present. He provides a complete tour of ailments and folk treatments organized by body systems, as well as information on medicinal plants, patent medicines, and magico-religious beliefs and practices. He investigates folk healers and their methods, profiling three living practitioners: an herbalist, a faith healer, and a Native American healer. The book also includes an appendix of botanicals and a glossary of folk medical terms. Demonstrating the ongoing interplay between mainstream scientific medicine and folk medicine, Cavender challenges the conventional view of southern Appalachia as an exceptional region isolated from outside contact. His thorough and accessible study reveals how Appalachian folk medicine encompasses such diverse and important influences as European and Native American culture and America's changing medical and health-care environment. In doing so, he offers a compelling representation of the cultural history of the region as seen through its health practices.

Mountain Wisdom Mountain Folk, Volume 1 is a collection of folklore from the Appalachian region. As the region becomes more homogenized into mainstream America, the wisdom of older generations is in great danger of being lost forever. This work includes such things as home remedies, planting tips, dream interpretations, superstitions, and a variety of interesting ideas held in the region. The material is supported by authentic vintage photos from the area. The appeal is not only residents of the Appalachian region, but to all who find an interest in folklore in the United States. Many of the traditional beliefs came with our European ancestors who settled these mountains in the original western migration.
