Who is John Apple Seed that often appears in Apple promotional materials?

John Apple Seed/Johnny Apple Seed, whose real name is john chapman, is a legendary figure in the American westward movement. He played an important role in the process of planting and spreading apples and made great contributions to promoting the nature conservation movement. He is a household name in America. John chapman (1774- 1845) was born in Massachusetts. At the call of the country, John joined his brother's western development process at the age of 18. At that time, the desolate west was waiting for development. In order to encourage people to explore bravely, the government has issued a policy: immigrants must "plant at least 50 apple trees" to obtain land use permits. At that time, if you want to plant apple trees, you can't graft them. You can only start with seeds. So Chapman walked barefoot in forests, wasteland and rivers, collecting apple seeds everywhere, transporting them to the west by canoe, opening apple nurseries before the arrival of immigrants, selling saplings to immigrants, and so on. It took him more than forty years to open a nursery from Ohio to Indiana, using apple trees to help immigrants transform wasteland into homes. This is the origin of his nickname "Apple Seed". As for Apple's use of "John Appleseed" to refer to itself, its intention is obvious. Attached is the text editing icon of OS X, a letter from John Appleseed. From Wikipedia: Johnny Apple Seed
