Johnny Appleseed and the Church of the New Jerusalem


When I was a kid I remember frequently hearing about Johnny Appleseed.
Everybody(my teachers) seemed to think it was of tremendous value to the United States that he planted Apple trees everywhere.
To this day deep down I feel that Apple trees are fantastic.
Anyway, on this day in 1774 Mr. Chapman(his real name) was born.
You can learn all about him here.
Later,
Paul Parducci

Fun Fact: Like Helen Keller, Johnny Appleseed was a follower of Emanuel Swedenborg he was in fact a missionary for the church he founded(The Church of the New Jerusalem.)
