Meet John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed. Living in harmony with nature, he fulfills his dream of traveling west to plant apple orchards across the frontier to aid pioneers on their arduous journeys.

Johnny Appleseed continues his mission well into old age, knowing that his trees will provide fruit long after he is gone. Part of the multivolume Greatest American Tall Tales & Legends DVD Series. A teacher's guide is available online.
