约翰．苹果子 (Johnny Appleseed) 出生：1775年9月26日

1801年，崔普曼从宾州西部运了16蒲式耳的苹果种子到俄亥俄河。他取得了超过一千英亩的农地，并在这些农地上种植苹果树与苗圃。但是他并没有住在那里。崔普曼的工作就像是传教士一样。每一年，他都会徒步走了数千英里，身上套着一个装过咖啡的麻布袋，只剪了两个洞让手可以伸得出来，然后带着一个锅子。人家都说那锅子就像是在飞扬的头发上带着一顶帽子一样。

In 1801, Chapman transported 16 bushels of apple seeds from western Pennsylvania down the Ohio River. He had acquired more than 1,000 acres of farmland on which he developed apple orchards and nurseries. But he didn't just stay there. Chapman's work resembled that of a missionary. Each year, he traveled hundreds of miles on foot wearing a coffee sack with holes cut out for arms and carrying a cooking pot, which he is said to have worn like a cap over his flowing hair.
