<p>This classic tale is based on the true story of a kindhearted woodsman who planted thousands of apple seeds from Pennsylvania to Indiana. The real Johnny Appleseed was born John Chapman in a small village in Massachusetts. When he was a young man, he set off for the western frontier and along the way collected bags of apple seeds from cider mills. As John Chapman's apple orchards grew in number, so did the tales of Johnny Appleseed. In this wise and witty story the life of a great American folk hero helps open and tame the wild frontier.</p><p>Optimized for Kindle devices and featuring Panel Zoom facility.</p><i><p> Lovingly created from 1953 to 1969, Classics Illustrated Junior continues to bring joy and wonder to young children through beautifully-illustrated adaptations of the world’s most beloved fairy tales and stories by the world’s greatest authors.</p><p>A collection of Classics Illustrated Junior books is a great way to encourage reading and adventure in any young child.</p></i>
