JOHNNY APPLESEED HC

A graphic biography of John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed, who is the stuff of legend; he spread the seeds of apple trees from Pennsylvania to Indiana. Along with apple trees, he offered the seeds of nonviolence and vegetarianism, good relations with the indigenous peoples, and peace among the settlers. He was one of the New World's earliest followers of the Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg. The story of John Chapman is a counter-narrative to the glorification of violence, conquest, and prevailing notions of how the West was won.
