Johnny Appleseed: Green Dreamer of the American Frontier by Noah Van Sciver, Paul M. Buhle
3.0
noah van sciver's art! it says something that i've only read one of his other books and his style is immediately recognizable.
as far the words .... what a mess. buhle seems to think making scattered references to five hundred things that are somewhat related to johnny appleseed is the same thing as ~deconstructing his legend. (also ...if you want to say something new about america's complicated relationship with the land/nature/history w native americans, get some different references than michael pollan, gary snyder, kerouac, muir, etc etc)
