This is the day we remember Johnny Appleseed an 1800s folk legend whose dream was to produce so many apples that no one would ever go hungry. The real Johnny Appleseed is Johnny Chapman born in Massachusetts in 1774.
A song was dedicated to Johnny Appleseed a few years ago by the folk group Bread and Butter for Breakfast. It's a cute and relaxing song.
Thinking about Johnny Appleseed I realize the story and the legend didn't travel with the name "Chapman". It was his nickname that lived on. Finding the right nickname is difficult but sometimes it just clicks.
