    Who was John Chapman?

    Question #14067. Asked by heyman.

    Brainy Blonde

    Johnny Appleseed.
    I found about 10 web sites confirming this answer with my first search, so I'm
    not going to list them all.
    I'm sure heyman knows that if I give an answer without a source it is the
    correct one. If I'm not 100% sure, I say so. Right heyman?

    Johnny Appleseed was the name given to John Chapman, an American pioneer who planted large numbers of apple trees along the early frontier. He became a folk hero as the result of many novels, short stories and poems about his deeds. However, most of these deeds were probably imaginary.

    If that is not the one you are after, there is another John Chapman. A litery publisher of the Westminister Review, he is the guy referred to in Keat's poem 'On first looking into Chapman's Homer.'

    Nice to see my old pal Terry P-A back in action.

    If you want another John Chapman, how about the one who died a couple of weeks back - an actor and playwright. He wrote very many of the Whitehall Theatre farces, not that Brian Rix and trouser dropping would be readily understandable to our American cousins.
