"A biography Johnny Appleseed, both the historical person and the legendary figure"-- Provided by publisher.
A profile of the real Johnny Appleseed goes behind his folk-legend persona to reveal his contributions as an animal whisperer, vegetarian and pacifist at a time when such practices were virtually non-existent, offering insight into his additional work as an evangelist and land speculator.
