When our nation was young, Johnny Appleseed tramped barefoot across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, selling or giving pioneers apple seeds and saplings. He single-handely established countless apple orchards across the newly-settled land. Tales and tales have been told about him. Some are true, some are not, but all of them are wonderful.

A perfect introduction to a genuine American hero and the legends that grew around him.
