He was a familiar figure in Fort Wayne in the I830's and died near the city in 1845. The following biographical sketch by W. D. Haley was originally published in HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, volume XLIII, November, 1871. That article is the nucleus of fact and legend current in 1871, twenty-six years after Johnny's death; it is the chief source of subsequent articles and sketches. The Boards and the Staff of the Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County reprint the article with the assurance that it will be interesting and informative to Library patrons. The "Far West" is rapidly becoming only a traditional designation; railroads have destroyed the romance of frontier life or have surrounded it with so many appliances of civi- lization that the pioneer character is rapidly becoming myth- ical.

  • BE a MODERN-DAY JOHNNY APPLESEED Plant a Piece of American History on National Arbor Day with Johnny Appleseed Tree
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Razonia McClellan Razonia McClellan Public Relations Cell: 432.352.7477 Email: [email protected] BE A MODERN-DAY JOHNNY APPLESEED Plant a Piece of American History on National Arbor Day with Johnny Appleseed Tree JACKSONVILLE, FL (February 11, 2021) — Home gardeners and orchardists across the country have an opportunity to grow a piece of early American history with the Johnny Appleseed Authentic™ Algeo apple tree. Just in time for National Arbor Day (April 30) or National Earth Day (April 22), genetically identical copies of the last surviving tree planted by John Chapman, the real-life inspiration behind the Johnny Appleseed legend, are available for consumer purchase for the first time at https://shopjohnnyappleseed.com/. Chapman famously planted apple trees throughout the American frontier, but his orchards were largely destroyed by old age, weather and Prohibition-era federal agents looking to end the practice of cider-making. Defying the odds, the Algeo tree had survived since the mid-1800s thanks to a family of farmers in rural Ashland County, Ohio. Independently authenticated by the Johnny Appleseed museum at Urbana University and the Ohio Historical Society, the tree’s rich history lives on in the form of bud-grafted, genetically identical saplings. “We have always considered ourselves guardians of the tree,” said Kate Harvey Algeo-Wilkins, a descendant of the family which preserved the tree and in whose honor its apple is named. “We protect it and take care of it and do the maintenance. We’re very excited to share this because John Chapman shared it with us and we are happy to pass it on.” The tree was sampled and grafted by Jeff Meyer, founder of Johnny Appleseed Authentic, who learned of its existence in the mid-1990s while working for the 501(c)(3) nonprofit American Forests.

  • Apfel, Birne & Quitte
    Apfel, Birne & Quitte Apfel (Malus), Birne (Pyrus) und Quitte (Cydonia) gehören zu den Kernobstgewächsen (Pyrinae) in der Familie der Rosengewächse und stehen seit tausenden Jahren als Obst in Kultur. Kernobst, besonders der Apfel, stellt eine sehr wichtige Tracht für Bienen im Frühjahr dar und es ist das Obst schlechthin. Aus Kernobst werden Säfte, Mus, Trockenobst (Apfelchips, getrocknete Birnen = Kletzen), Konserven, Kompott, Kuchenbelag, Most (Obstwein), Cider und Obstbrände hergestellt. Ein Dicksaft aus Birnen wird Birnenkraut oder Birnenhonig genannt. Die Quitte ist zudem indirekt Namensgeber für das Wort Marmelade von portugiesisch marmelo für Quitte und griechisch melimelon Honigapfel. Aus Quitten werden zudem noch Gelee (Quittenkäs), Likör und Perlwein hergestellt, da die Quitte zwar festfleischig und schwierig zu verarbeiten aber ausgesprochen aromatisch ist. Auch ein Konfekt mit dem Namen Quittenbrot aus Quittenmus und Gelierzucker ist sehr beliebt. Plinius erwähnte bereits Birnenwein. England und die Normandie lieben ihren Apfelwein (Cider). Spätestens seit der Besiedelung des Westens feiert Amerika Johnny Appleseed. Dieser brachte Apfelsamen aus der Alten Welt mit und begann während seiner Reise durch den Westen Apfelbäume zu pflanzen, damit sich die Siedler selbst mit Apfelwein versorgen konnten. Obstwein aus Äpfeln nennt man Cider, aus Birnen Perry und aus Quitten Querry. In der Normandie wird Cider aus verschiedensten Apfelsorten gekeltert, die auf Streuobstwiesen wachsen. Aus Apfelwein wird auch Calvados gebrannt. Fügt man frischen, gärenden Apfelwein und Apfelbrand zusammen, erhält man den in der Normandie und Bretagne bekannten Pommeau, der als Aperitif getrunken wird. Eigentlich ein nach der Portweinmethode hergestellter Apfeldessertwein. Die Hauptmenge an Obstwein, die heutzutage getrunken wird, wird aus Äpfeln bzw. Kernobst hergestellt.

  • Brandy Bible Second Edition
    BRANDY BIBLE SECOND EDITION “Derived from the Dutch Brandewijn” - “burnt wine” Brandy, a quick introduction… Legend has it that brandy was first produced when an enterprising sea captain distilled wine in order to save space on his ship. He planned to reconstitute it with water when he arrived at his home port, but those who sampled the new concoction liked it just the way it was. Today, most brandy is distilled from white wine, though red wine and other fermented fruit juices are also used. It’s then aged in oak barrels for several years. Brandy is often served as an after-dinner drink, or added to coffee. There are two highly regarded French brandies: Cognac and the slightly drier Armagnac. California also produces many fine brandies that are similar to cognac. Metaxa is a strong Greek brandy that tastes of resin. Spanish brandy is based on sherry, and is heavier and sweeter than French brandy. Fruit Brandies such as Apple brandy is distilled from apple cider, while pear brandy is made from pear cider. Fruit brandies are distilled from the fruit itself, instead of fruit juices. Then there are Pomace brandies such as the Italian Grappa. This potent and somewhat harsh drink is made from the grape residue, called pomace, that’s left over from making wine. It’s traditionally been thought of as a second-rate ‘eau de vie’, but some producers have developed premium Grappas that are quite smooth and very pricey. “Here at the Three Greyhounds Inn we aim to stock an excellent selection of Brandies across the three types from classic Grape Brandy such as Cognacs and Armagnacs to fruit brandies such as English Cider Apple Brandies from the farm as well as other interesting fruit brandies.
