The trip was sponsored by the Academy of American Poets and the Washington Apple Commission, and it was inspired by Johnny Appleseed’s travels throughout the United States.

More than two million copies of the following titles were distributed: Medal of Honor: Profiles of America’s Military Heroes from the Civil War to the Present, by Allen Mikaelian, with commentary by Mike Wallace (Hyperion); Henry V, by William Shakespeare (Dover); The Art of War, by Sun Tzu (Dover); Wry Martinis, by Christopher Buckley (Random House); The Man in the Arena: Selected Speeches, Letters & Essays by Theodore Roosevelt, edited by Dr. John A. Gable (Theodore Roosevelt Association); and One Thousand and One Nights, translated by Geraldine McCaughrean (Oxford University Press). The books were formatted in the same “cargo pocket” size and have the same vintage appearance as the original ASEs from World War II. Unlike the original ASEs, the new books were paid for entirely with private donations. No government funding was used.
