The story is set in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, New York, in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a priggish schoolmaster from Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, a buff and tough man, for the hand of eighteen-year-old Katrina Van Tassel. As Crane leaves a party, he is pursued by the Headless Horseman, supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who lost his head to a cannon-ball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head." Crane runs away from town, leaving Katrina with Brom Bones, who is implied to be the Headless Horseman.

First off Sleepy Hollow is not a legend it is a fable that played on the fears of others. And since it was so well written with some factual events. Many people believe that the entire story is true..... You should also remember that at that time Sleepy Hollow, was a very small and real community at the time of its writing by one of people that actually lived there .................. Also Sleepy Hollow really exist in a place called Tarry-Town, New York.......
