"In 1966 Eliot Wigginton and his students in an English class at the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School initiated a project to engage students in writing. The class decided to publish a magazine over the course of the semester. Its articles were the product of the students' interviewing their relatives and local citizens about how lifestyles had changed over the course of their lives and dealt with traditions in the rural area. First published in 1966 the magazine covers topics of the lifestyle culture crafts and skills of people in southern Appalachia. The content is written as a mixture of how-to information first-person narratives oral history and folklore. The Foxfire project has published Foxfire magazine continuously since 1966. In 1972 the first of the highly popular Foxfire books was published which collected published articles as well as new material. Both the magazine and books are based on the stories and life of elders and students featuring advice and personal stories about subjects as wide-ranging as hog dressing faith healing blacksmithing and Appalachian local and regional history. Foxfire moved from Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School to Rabun County High School in 1977. " from Wikipedia . Anchor Books paperback
