Main Idea/Supporting Details Johnny Appleseed was a real person—John Chapman John Chapman’s first years in life were difficult. John lived off the land. He wouldn’t hurt animals and didn’t carry a gun; He wouldn’t wrestle with the woodsmen; he found a way to beat the woodsmen and clear a large orchard at the same time, all without being violent He warned people instead of spreading the fire. John cared about the families and helped them. People exaggerated the stories; they said he slept in a tree hammock and talked to birds; they said a rattlesnake tried to bite him but couldn’t; they said he took care of a wolf and kept him for a pet; they said he played with bears. Johnny moved west to Indiana because Ohio became too crowded; settlers kept arriving, and some recognized Johnny.

Checking Comprehension Why did John Chapman begin planting apple seeds throughout the western frontier? He loved apple trees and wanted to sell young trees to settlers. What was John Chapman like?
