Críticas:
The 'St. Francis of the Frontier' comes alive in this winsome history of utopian agitation in antebellum America.
Johnny Appleseed charts the life of John Chapman, a man who planted a ridiculous number of apples in the Midwest while eschewing a philosophy of peace and copious hard cider. Appleseed tends to persist as a character of folklore, but his biography is filled with moments just as massive and subversively zen.
Johnny Appleseed will appeal to readers interested in an alternative perspective on this period of American history.
The production, typical of Fantagraphics, is gorgeous. ... Inspection reveals 116 ravishing pages that tell the true story of the man who became famous two centuries ago for spreading the seeds of apple trees from Pennsylvania to Indiana.
In 112 packed, illustrated pages, Buhle and Van Sciver cover a lot that you probably didn't learn in U.S. history class. Like the cider made from Johnny's apples, it goes down well.
