There are a few trees around here that were planted by Johnny Appleseed. A couple of them still produce fruit. The man was amazing.
One thing that people forget about the times: Whoever improved the land by plowing a farm or planting an orchard could claim it. John Chapman eventually owned enormous tracts of land.
We learned a lot about Johnny Appleseed growing up because he's from Fitchburg MA. He walked all the way to Fort Wayne Indiana. We were never taught that he died of syphilis though.
Fan of the song and it was the theme song to John from Cincinnati a very underrated series.
