In this short chapter-book biography, readers will be introduced to the legends and the factual events of John Chapman’s adventurous life. Born in Massachusetts, Chapman later moved westward bringing apple seeds and seedlings to the midwestern pioneer settlers. Leaving his own unique legacy, Johnny Appleseed is remembered for his love of nature, his eccentricities, his simplicity, and his generous nature. This biography serves as an informative and engaging narrative for independent readers.
