    About the presentation

    Did he really wear a pot on his head for a hat? Did he really wear an old coffee sack for a shirt? Did he really spread apple seeds all over the Midwest? Yes, well, sort of…maybe! Yes, Jonathan Chapman, aka 'Johnny Appleseed', did exist and he made a real and lasting difference in American culture and lifeways. This new presentation from an esteemed MORE presenter promises to be yet another hit!
