Johnny Appleseed
Johnny Appleseed was an American pioneer* and a
legend. He loved apples. He grew apple trees and
traveled around many places in the United States of
America to bring apple trees to the people. Many people
think that Johnny Appleseed was an imaginary character,
but he was a real person. He was born in Massachusetts in 1774 and lived for
70 years.
Johnny had good farming skills. He planted apple trees and took good care of
them. He supplied apple seeds to the early settlers in the Mid-west of the
USA, the large part of the land in the middle of the country, far from the
oceans. He owned tree farms in several states. He sold many trees, but gave
away many, too. He was very successful, but he lived a simple life. He was
kind and generous and friendly to everyone. And he did funny things! He
liked to walk in his bare feet, and he wore his tin cooking pot on his head as
he traveled.
His real name was John Chapman, but people called him Johnny Appleseed
because of his great love for apples and their seeds. Johnny spent 50 years
growing apple trees and spreading them successfully all over the land.
