Johnny Appleseed

Johnny AppleseedJohn Chapman, later given the name Johnny Appleseed, was born in Leominster,Massachusetts, on September 26, 1774. John’s father was a Minuteman who later fought inthe Revolutionary War. John’s mother died when he was very young.

John became a legendary figure when he left home and began traveling the Ohio Valley area(Ohio and Indiana) in the 1800s. People picture him as being a big and strong man, but JohnChapman was actually small in stature. He lived a very simple life. He preferred walkingbarefoot, wearing sacks for clothes, and a tin pot for a hat. One thinks of Johnny Appleseedas being very poor but, actually, he owned a lot of land. Of course, he had his land full ofapple orchards. He planted his first orchard in 1796 in western Pennsylvania.

As he traveled through Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois, he would givepioneers deerskin bags full of apple seeds that he collected from cider mills in Pennsylvania.People would pay him for the seeds with money but mostly with goods such as used clothing.He would later go back to the areas where the seeds had been planted and help tend theorchards. The orchards were an asset to the economy of the Ohio Valley. Apples were alsoan excellent source of food for the diets of the early settlers.

Not only would John give people seeds and seedlings, but he also would tell stories about hismany traveling adventures and talk about his faith. John Chapman was a deeply religiousman. His church was based on the teachings of EmanuelSwedeborg from Sweden. Swedenborgians were very rare inthe country.

Many legendary tales are told about Johnny Appleseed. Heslept outdoors and it was said when he couldn’t find water, hewould melt snow with his feet. It also was said that when hewas in Kentucky, John met a tall, thin young man named AbeLincoln headed back home after borrowing a book fromsomeone. He gave him a bag of seeds.

John Chapman roamed the forests without any gun. He was afriend to the wild animals and a spiritual man to the settlers.The Native Americans thought of him as a medicine manbecause he would give herbs and plants used for healing.John Chapman was a hero and a welcome visitor to thefrontier people.

He died on March 18, 1845, from pneumonia at the home ofgood friend, William Worth. He was buried in Ft. Wayne,Indiana, under a tombstone that reads, “He lived for others.”
