A picture of Johnny Appleseed in "Pecos Bill and Other Tales" by Irwin Shapiro and Illustrated by Al Schmidt. (Golden Press, 1958).
John Chapman (aka Johnny Appleseed) was born in Leominster, Massachusetts on September 26, 1774. John travelled ahead of the nation's immigrants and planted orchids before they arrived. He developed countless thousands of productive apple trees throughout the upper Midwest.
When selling his trees John would take a reasonable price in money, some cast-off clothing, a bit of food, or nothing at all depending on the situation of the buyer and he considered it was more important for a settler to plant a tree than to pay for it. He would never specify a date that payment was due as a given date might not be convenient to collect on or for the buyer to pay on. He never asked a person to pay a debt, for he reasoned that the customer knew that he or she owed the money, without being reminded of it.
Johnny Appleseed lived on foods provided by nature, and he never killed animals. Furthermore, he would rescue elderly horses that had been left to fend for themselves and would pay farmers to care for them. John Chapman died of pneumonia on March 18, 1845 and was buried near Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

My 11 year old made his pitching debut this weekend. Little League fall ball is great because it gives the kids a chance to try new positions in a more casual game situation. He did about as well as could be expected for a first time pitching with no real practice at it since baseball camp last winter. Big DumpTruck on Flickr: Posted a Photo
