Johnny Appleseed

In 1928, Benét wrote John Brown's Body, a long, narrative poem on the Civil War, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize. His short story The Devil and Daniel Webster was adapted into a folk opera in 1939 and made into a movie in 1941. In 1933 Rosemary and Stephen Benét together wrote A Book of Americans, from which Johnny Appleseed is taken.

Benét was awarded the Roosevelt Medal and the O. Henry Prize, and in 1938 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Benét died unexpectedly at the age of forty-four on March 13, 1943, and in 1944 he was awarded his second Pulitzer Prize for Western Star, an unfinished narrative poem. On the anniversary of Stephen Benét's one-hundredth birthday, the U.S. Postal Service released a Stephen Vincent Benét postage stamp.
