I might be wrong about the "Foxfire" connection, since I clearly remember it was Northern California. The guy was happy as a lark when his wife cooked up a big, greasy raccoon one day.
The thing that amazed me the most wasn't that there was some loon living in Northern California like his ancestors might have, but that he found a woman to do it with him, and they had kids.
I still wonder what happened to that tribe. It was in the same era as the Foxfire books, anyway.
I haven't seen a copy of any of the Foxfire books in at least a dozen years-many enough for me.
Best,
Ted
