Growing up on an orchard farm, little Johnny Chapman used to be rocked to sleep on a hammock in the apple trees.  As he grew up, he loved to help his parents pick the apples.  Then, in the late seventeen hundreds, he set out from his Massachusetts home to go westward and plant apple trees.  

Trot along on this wholesome, inspiring adventure with Johnny Appleseed.  If you are barefoot, wear a stewpot on your head, and like to sleep outdoors, then the two of you will get along just fine!
