In reading Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire, Johnny Appleseed was
mentioned in the section on apples. Chapman (Appleseed) took a canoe-load of
seed and planted it at the confluence of rivers, where the water made for
natural landmarks and transportation. He then sold the parcels and died a
rich man. About a million apple seeds made for lots of cider, and the
occasional tree producing a good fruit. Smart man.

Seems I read somewhere that Johnny Appleseed(Chapman) made frequent trips,
in season, to the cider mills back east to obtain seeds from the pomace left
over after pressing the apples - so, one would expect that most of his
seedlings would have been from varieties grown primarily for cider
production... and, lacking cold-storage facilities, I suspect (I'm not a
fruit historian) that a very significant portion of the apple production, in
that day and time, was for production of hard cider, as it would 'keep'
better than a 'dessert' apple.
