Narrado por: Virtual Voice

He’s famous for planting apple trees across the Midwest. But was this mythic nomad a fool, a saint, or something entirely different?

Massachusetts, 1797. John Chapman craves love. Treated like an indentured servant by his father, the late-maturing twenty-one-year-old searches for enough money to take his beautiful sweetheart to a dance. But when the introspective young man is caught stealing a few coins, his stern parent condemns him to a long and dangerous journey to claim new land in the recently opened Indian Territory.

Discovering unexpected skills as he and his half-brother brave the rugged roads together, John thrives on his freshly gained independence. And as he grows up along the trail, he learns that the diverse group of settlers heading westward truly appreciates his happy-go-lucky spirit and unique outlook on life.

Will tromping through virgin forests change a nation’s landscape forever?

Digging deep into little-known details, Norbert Aubrey uses this beloved, but often mischaracterized man to reveal fascinating truths about the Northwest Territory and its native inhabitants. And after uncovering the reality of his pioneer’s life and times, you’ll be able to understand how a simple dreamer joined the ranks of legends.
