Johnny Appleseed aka John Chapman, ecologist
Sept. 26, 1774-Mar. 1847
Johnny Appleseed by Steven Kellogg (HarperCollins, 1988)
Kellogg blends fact with fiction in this story about an American icon. I love the illustrations—big and lush.
Note: There are many, many books published about Johnny Appleseed. This is one of my favorites.
Read an article about Chapman from Harper's New Monthly Magazine from 1871 posted on Cornell's web site.
