I happen to believe that genius makes people weird, a storyteller once said, explaining how Johnny Appleseed could be at once so peculiar and so profound.
Between 1801 and 1812, Ohio and the Old Northwest territory runs wild and brutal, with a fragile peace, savage living conditions, and the laws of civilization far away. Still, settlers stake everything they own on the chance of building better lives for themselves in this new frontier. John Chapman-aka Johnny Appleseed-knows this land better than any white man. Everywhere he goes, he shares the Fresh News Straight from Heaven, which he hears right from the voices of angels who chat with him regularly. God had promised him personally that he could build peace by growing fruit.
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS an adult story of one of America's endearing historical figures: Johnny Appleseed, from the author of the hilarious Holidazed series of holiday satires.
