From the Back Cover,
This review is from: JOHNNY'S TRAIL (Hardcover)
Johnny's Trail
My name is Persis. I am fourteen. I'm following an orchardman, Johnny Appleseed, through the fall forests. Johnny says that we're heading for Mansfield, Ohio, and that the year is 1812. I can't remember anything before Johnny rescued me from the Painted Men. But while traveling Johnny's trail, among woods and wolves and brambles and bears, I get to know about myself, with the help of Johnny and his books by Swedenborg. My author, Anne Eliot Crompton, found Johnny Appleseed's story in real history. She has written other books about historical folk called The Ice Trail and The Lifting Stone, which I will read as soon as I can. She lives on a small farm back east in Massachusetts, and is married and has five grown children. Author's Note This story is almost true. Johnny really lived in Ohio in 1812, and his legend says he did most of the things mentioned in this book. The other people in the story are fictional characters, but they are very like the folk Johnny really knew. Because their talk is somewhat different from ours, there is a glossary of words and phrases at the back of this book. Brief biographies of Johnny (John Chapman) and his inspiration, Emanuel Swedenborg, can also be found at the back of this book.
