Well I remember the Foxfire books as I think I stopped after buying about five. I also remember lye soap, my mother making it and me selling it door to door. She'd pour it in a cutdown cardboard box as a mold and slice it into blocks. The blocks looking like cake icing on top as she'd swirled it with a butterknife which left the icing swirls and peaks. Long before Foxfire (in the seventies) was Fur, Fish & Game. There was a magazine to encourage Dan'l Boone mischief!
