What a life he lived--and what a long one he had, for that day and time, especially going barefoot all the time like he did! I really enjoyed this.<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-19086646616430461702013-01-18T21:51:40.058-06:002013-01-18T21:51:40.058-06:00How fun to learn the true story behind a legend.

I grew up close to Arlington, Ohio, and there was a restaurant called Johnny Appleseed and it was said that he had planted apple trees in that area.Diane Craverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543155150824715253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-69934793558371519782013-01-18T16:49:01.534-06:002013-01-18T16:49:01.534-06:00Zequeatta,(I hope I spelled your name correctly.

I was surprised to learn that he was such a humanitarian, an animal rights activist and a big land owner though he never reaped the rewards of his own labor.
