 from Wikipedia:  John Chapman (September 26, 1774 – March 18, 1845),
better known as Johnny Appleseed, was an American pioneer nurseryman who
introduced apple trees to large parts of Pennsylvania, Ontario, Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois, as well as the northern counties of present-day West Virginia.
He became an American legend while still alive, due to his kind,
generous ways, his leadership in conservation, and the symbolic
importance he attributed to apples.
