I've enjoyed the stories of New River life tremendously! However, the mention of shuck beans caught my eye. One summer we made these and I seem to recall my grandfather doing something to them with sulfer. Does anyone know how to actually make them...besides stringing them up to dry? They were one of my favorite winter foods. I've made them in a food dehydrator but they don't taste the same as my grandfather's "shuckie beans". Mary South msouth@ic.net PS. We still use pillows made from my mother's feather bed.
