約翰‧蘋果子 (Johnny Appleseed) 出生：1775年9月26日

1801年，崔普曼從賓州西部運了16蒲式耳的蘋果種子到俄亥俄河。他取得了超過一千英畝的農地，並在這些農地上種植蘋果樹與苗圃。但是他並沒有住在那裡。崔普曼的工作就像是傳教士一樣。每一年，他都會徒步走了數千英里，身上套著一個裝過咖啡的麻布袋，只剪了兩個洞讓手可以伸得出來，然後帶著一個鍋子。人家都說那鍋子就像是在飛揚的頭髮上帶著一頂帽子一樣。

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.
