Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johnny Appleseed, Orchardist Johnny's religious nature and early vocational interest in fruitgrowing provided fertile soil for nurturing an intense feeling of responsibility to provide nursery stock for the white settlers on the frontier. In his self-appointed vocation he manifested, as in everything else an intense religious fervor, even deifying the ap ple as a divine favor and gift to man. Johnny rejected all pruning and grafting of nursery stocks, for he believed that to cut or prune a tree was as cruel and unprincipled as to maim a human being, hence morally wrong. Johnny spent some time in western Penn sylvania and many years in Ohio where he roamed the valleys of the Muskingum River and its tributaries. He repeatedly stated that the two chief objectives of his life were to make apples avail able to all and to preach the doctrines of Emanuel Swedenborg. The purveyance of nursery stock afforded him opportunities to propagate the Swedenborgian faith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Johnny Appleseed by One Who Knew Him Classic Reprint written by W. M. Glines and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Johnny Appleseed by One Who Knew Him The manuscript is written with ink on a good grade of brown wrapping paper. The hand-writing is remarkably clear, but the first three pages are so worn and faded as to make the writing almost illegible. No date accompanies the article, but the family states that it was probably written sometime between the years, 1875 and 1879. Judging from the introductory remarks in the paper, it must have been written for a lyceum or a debating society which were both common among the young people of a generation ago. Farther on in the narrative it develops that the author was very well acquainted with Johnny Appleseed and with his relatives. So he was able to give first hand information about his subject. The author, Mr. W. M. Glines, was born in Marietta, Ohio, November 12, 1806 and died at the same pla'ce, August 2. 1887. His son, Mr. H. Glines, still lives at Marietta, and a grandson, Mr. N. W. Glines is an assistant in this department of the Uni versity. The older residents of this general region are familiar with the name of Johnny Appleseed and with fragments of stories concerning his peculiarities and of his passion for planting apple trees in advance of civilization. A number of apple trees in various parts of Ohio are still standing which are said to have been planted by his hands. That his work had a marked influence on the development of commercial fruit growing in this region cannot be doubted, as the hills along the banks of the Ohio river became famous for their productive orchards long ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnny Appleseed and the American Orchard illuminates the meaning of Johnny "Appleseed" Chapman's life and the environmental and cultural significance of the plant he propagated. Creating a startling new portrait of the eccentric apple tree planter, William Kerrigan carefully dissects the oral tradition of the Appleseed myth and draws upon material from archives and local historical societies across New England and the Midwest. The character of Johnny Appleseed stands apart from other frontier heroes like Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, who employed violence against Native Americans and nature to remake the West. His apple trees, nonetheless, were a central part of the agro-ecological revolution at the heart of that transformation. Yet men like Chapman, who planted trees from seed rather than grafting, ultimately came under assault from agricultural reformers who promoted commercial fruit stock and were determined to extend national markets into the West. Over the course of his life John Chapman was transformed from a colporteur of a new ecological world to a curious relic of a pre-market one. Weaving together the stories of the Old World apple in America and the life and myth of John Chapman, Johnny Appleseed and the American Orchard casts new light on both. -- James Gilbert, University of Maryland
Download or read book Johnny Appleseed written by Howard Means and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Finally, the cliché is peeled away and the essence of this utterly American character is so revealing. John Chapman comes alive here and it is a thrilling experience to escape the specific gravity of the decades of myth” (Ken Burns). This portrait of Johnny Appleseed restores the flesh-and-blood man beneath the many myths. It captures the boldness of an iconic American and the sadness of his last years, as the frontier marched past him, ever westward. And it shows how death liberated the legend and made of Johnny a barometer of the nation’s feelings about its own heroic past and the supposed Eden it once had been. Howard Means does for America’s inner frontier what Stephen Ambrose’s Undaunted Courage did for its western one.
