Along
with
Irving's
companion
piece
"Rip
Van
Winkle",
"The
Legend
of
Sleepy
Hollow"
is
among
the
earliest
examples
of
American
fiction
with
enduring
popularity,
especially
during
Halloween.
The
story
is
set
in
1790
in
the
countryside
around
the
Dutch
settlement
of
Tarry
Town
-
historical
Tarrytown,
New
York
-,
in
a
secluded
glen
called
Sleepy
Hollow.
Sleepy
Hollow
is
renowned
for
its
ghosts
and
the
haunting
atmosphere
that
pervades
the
imaginations
of
its
inhabitants
and
visitors.
Some
residents
say
this
town
was
bewitched
during
the
early
days
of
the
Dutch
settlement.
Other
residents
say
an
old
Native
American
chief,
the
wizard
of
his
tribe,
held
his
powwows
here
before
the
country
was
discovered
by
Master
Hendrick
Hudson.
The
most
infamous
spectre
in
the
Hollow
is
the
Headless
Horseman,
said
to
be
the
ghost
of
a
Hessian
trooper
that
had
his
head
shot
off
by
a
stray
cannonball
during
"some
nameless
battle"
of
the
American
Revolutionary
War,
and
who
"rides
forth
to
the
scene
of
battle
in
nightly
quest
of
his head"...
