Johnny Appleseed: The Man, the Myth, the American Story by Howard Means redwall with all the footnotes"Finally, the clich is peeled away and the essence of this utterly American character is so revealing. John Chapman comes alive here and it is a thrilling experience to escape the specific gravity of the decades of myth" (Ken Burns). This portrait of Johnny Appleseed restores the flesh and blood man beneath the many myths. It captures the boldness of an iconic American and the sadness of his last years, as the frontier marched past him, ever westward.
