Johnny Appleseed was indeed a real person, whose real name was John Chapman. He was born in Leominster, Massachusetts, and did indeed travel through Ohio, Indiana, and Ilinois buying and clearing land, and planting apple orchards (he didn't just plant apple trees randomly). He was an ascetic, but also a businessman. However, there was even more to him than that. He was a Swedenborgian missionary, and was travelling in order to speak to people and distribute Swedenborgian literature.

Johnny appleseed was a man that went across the us Planting Apple seeds in order to provide people with food. He wore a cooking pot on his head, why? because he did not want to carry it with him. His real name was John Chapman.
