What is The John Chapman Stories about?

The authors traveled across the lower 48 U.S. states interviewing grassroots activists about their work to solve pressing problems confronting their communities. They spoke with hundreds of people who were making positive change on issues facing the country and the world: environment, education, hunger, drugs, poverty, jobs, human rights, affordable housing, peace, nuclear weapons and justice. Their goals were to explore the motivations and experiences of successful activists, and to encourage more people to get involved. John Chapman, honored in the book's title, is the legendary Johnny Appleseed of American folklore. The story of this humble and dedicated citizen -- who preformed economic, ecological and spiritual good works throughout the Ohio River Valley in the early 1800s -- serves as a symbol of grassroots initiatives and their enduring benefits. This book contains profiles of 17 activists telling their stories in their own words. They are: John Graham of the Giraffe Project in Langley, Washington Chuck Klinger of the Spring Garden Neighborhood Council in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Maxine Waller, working on economic development in Ivanhoe, Virginia John Doe of Transitional Hou
