Publisher's Synopsis
Join us for one of the earliest classic American short stories, a story both humorous and haunting. When Ichabod Crane, a Connecticut school teacher, comes to a small town in the Catskills of New York, he begins to compete for the affections of Katrina, the daughter of a wealthy farmer and contend with local hero Brom Bones. Crane hears the legend of "The Headless Horseman," a Hessian soldier who was decapitated during the Revolutionary War by a cannonball and roams the night in search of a head. Then, his journey home one evening, turns into a night of terror, when he is met on the path by the horseman himself.
