Hollywood is full of liars. Reading Today's Highlights on Answers.com and digging a little bit deeper, I realised that the favourite drink in western saloons was not whisky but applejack (at least in the early years). Applejack is an alcoholic drink made from hard cider that has been frozen.
Highly responsible for spreading apples, and hence applejack, in America was John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed, who was born on this date in 1774. He is legendary for giving and selling apple seeds and saplings to citizens migrating westward, and for planting apple trees as he traveled through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.
John Chapman just became my personal American hero. Johnny Depp would be a brilliant Johnny Appleseed. Hey Hollywood, make a film. Subito!
