This post is for the Australians: I figured that since I'm in America I'll take a couple posts to get you up to speed on some American heroes you might not be as familiar with. Excited?
Johnny Appleseed was actually a real person (wikipedia him if you don't believe me. or want more information. or are bored.) named John Chapman. He traveled around a lot of the Midwest and planted apple trees. He is famous for wearing a pot on his head and being awfully friendly with small woodland creatures, though let's not wikipedia those parts too closely, shall we?
And for going barefoot, wearing old clothes and having off-kilter beliefs.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a play. I was in it in 4th grade :)
