The brothers walked through Pennsylvania doing odd jobs, moving from one town to the next. In 1792, 18-year-old John and his 11-year-old brother Nathanial left Long Meadow (and that really small house) to explore the new frontier. Oh, and the apples trees he was planting, they were not for eating.
Though Johnny was many of those characteristics, he was an incredibly eccentric, nomadic, not a very good businessperson but did have a kind heart and was lovable. The Disney’s 1948 cartoon classic may also have helped with moving the man from a historical figure to one of legend. I am not saying that we were lied to as children, but I am thinking there might have been a slight interpretation of this historical character to make him more enjoyable for a child. Or is it? At some point, Johnny Appleseed went from man to folklore hero. What is not to believe, this story is as American as apple pie.
All stories lead to the same conclusion Johnny Appleseed gave America apples. Picture this a happy fellow, walking barefoot through the new frontier (okay, Ohio), wearing a tin pan hat, while carrying a bible in one hand, and a bag of appleseeds in the other.
