The Man Who Planted Trees: The True Story of Johnny Appleseed

In the early 19th century, as America expanded westward, one man walked a path unlike any other. He wore no fine coat, carried no riches, and sought neither land nor power. Instead, he carried apple seeds in his satchel and planted orchards where others saw only wilderness.

His name was John Chapman — but history remembers him by another name entirely: **Johnny Appleseed**.

To many, he became legend — a folk hero who roamed the forests barefoot, scattering apples across the frontier like seeds of hope. But behind the myth lies a real man, a man of quiet conviction, deep faith, and an enduring love for the land.

This documentary explores the life and legacy of Johnny Appleseed, uncovering the truth behind the legend. From his humble beginnings in Leominster, Massachusetts, to his journey across the American frontier, we delve into how this solitary planter left an indelible mark on history.
