Johnny Appleseed
<p>Johnny Appleseed (Jonathan Chapman) (September 26, 1774 – March 18, 1845), was an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced apple trees to large parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, including the northern counties of present day West Virginia. He became an American legend while still alive, due to his kind, generous ways, his leadership in conservation, and the symbolic importance he attributed to apples. He was also a missionary for Swedenborgian Church.[1]
