Johnny Appleseed and the American Orchard

I've been enjoying this Facebook page recently, based upon a book by William Kerrigan published a few months ago, about the history for the orchard in America. The blog "American Orchard" is a wonderful read, including a recent series on orchards during the Civil War. This post on the controversy surrounding cider apples is also fascinating. Really great blog, and I now want to get this book! So check it out.
