The Foxfire Project began in the early 1970s to preserve the folklore and knowledge of elderly rural Appalachians. Through taped and written interviews, high school students amassed enough stories for several volumes of pure Americana. They’re available in .pdf format here, other sources here. (The files are huge, might take some time to download.)
Andrea Joseph’s Sketchbook is teh awesome.
We have the Foxfire series in (very thick) trade paperbacks. Excellent reading, but much of it is pretty worthless info.
