Johnny Appleseed Day is on its way. 26th September, sees us celebrating the birthday of this very important historical, true-life character.
The more I read about Johnny Appleseed, the more I like.
What’s not to like? He was a humble man of God who helped pioneers, Indians and ordinary people as he moved his way through several American states.
John Chapman, endearingly known as Johnny Appleseed spread apple seeds throughout large parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinios and West Virginia.
He lived off the land for most of his adult life and as a result left an amazing legacy for all Americans. America is the second highest producer of apples next to China.
Here are a few Johnny Appleseed stories, via YouTube for you and your students to learn more about this amazing man.
