via Tracy Besancon (thanks) I sure would not call it terrorism. Hey, a great Quaker hero on the frontier was a guy Johnny Appleseed. (John Chapman). He was apparently a bit of a misfit. Sort of a loner. He went from settlement to settlement, and at the edges and margins. They sprang up every where, and the settlers later card for them. The apples were a hardy variety of wild or sour apples, and the frontiersmen used them to produce hard cider and apple jack. Chapman seems to have been a bit of a troubled soul, very kindly, one of the plain folk. His religion was a frontier amalgam, married to God (a kind of individualist PIETISM) -- he seems to have embraced the teachings of Swedenborgian mysticism. How much is legend and how much fact, I have not researched. As yet.
