About this audiobook
Johnny Appleseed, born John Chapman in 1774 in Leominster, Massachusetts, became an American folk hero celebrated for his adventurous spirit and kindness. This biography explores his life as a nurseryman who traveled across the American Midwest planting apple orchards and sharing seeds with settlers. Chapman's deep connection to nature and his adherence to Swedenborgian Christian beliefs guided his simple and altruistic lifestyle. His legendary status grew from tales of his barefoot journeys, frugal living, and harmonious relationships with Native Americans and wildlife. Johnny Appleseed's contributions helped settlers establish sustainable food sources, playing a vital role in westward expansion. This book delves into the man behind the myth, celebrating his legacy as a pioneer who embodied generosity, environmental stewardship, and the frontier spirit of early America.
