Anonymous Coward User ID: 22395366 United States 09/24/2012 06:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He didnt just go around "Skipping like a school girl dropping appleseads" like some people think. He planted an apple orchard, and gave away apples and seeds to people/familys in hard times (Remember, we couldnt just go to the store back then lol) and he also (like a guy above said) helped out people about to travel great distances. So basicly, "Johnny Appleseed" was just an american who really understood what being an american should be. And do to his great generosity many storys and praise began. And like any story, it became romanticed after spreading threw so many mouths. Ah,,,i wish i was born back then to meet him. my great great grandma (according to my mom and grandma) would talk about him for hours if anyone brought him up, to enlighten them that hes not just a story book character. Im happy you brought this up :) i enjoy talking about him. Just wish i could have met him. |

These "late loylaists" later teamed up with the Indians to defeat Napoleon's USAn allies in the War of 1812. They grew their own apples. |
