I own the first three volumes, but grew up with a full set. It's a preservation of our Appalachain culture and a continuing project at the Rabun Gap school--very much alive. There you can take classes in moonshining, cabin building, etc. I 100% love these books; they are some of my most treasured posessions.
This series of books was also turned into a stage version and later a movie starring John Denver and Jessica Tandy.
