And now it’s time for a Johnny Appleseed folk song, sung by the New Christy Minstrels.

Do they celebrate “Foxy Knoxy” as well?

He “grew up” in my hometown. His house is still here.

We have very few apple trees here. I guess he wanted some and took action. LOL

My grandfather used to tell me stories about his father and Johnny and their adventures the hard cider they made.

I was pretty young and thought that jonny appleseed was a make believe character like paul bunyon.

I remember it was in an high school american history class when the teacher said something about him and I realized that no only was he real, but my great grandfather lived in the same county in Indiana as he did.

I wish I had paid more attention to my grandfathers “tall tales” but he was already dead

He lived here in Pittsburgh at one point, which was considered the “frontier,” before going to the wilderness of Ohio and Indiana ;)

I first learned about Johnny Appleseed from a program on the Walt Disney Sunday evening TV show--probably many other Americans did too.

Johnny Appleseed died 15 days after Florida became a state. One of those post hoc sed non propter hoc cases.
