The story is set in the Dutch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands) settlement of Tarry Town, New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarrytown%2C_New_York) in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow, around the year 1790. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichabod_Crane), a priggish schoolmaster from Connecticut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut) who is scared away from town by Abraham "Brom Bones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brom_Bones)" Van Brunt, his rival in love for the hand of eighteen-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, daughter of Baltus Van Tassel and a fifth-generation Dutch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands) immigrant herself. The legend featured in the story is that of The Headless Horseman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Headless_Horseman), the ghost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost) of a Hessian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian) trooper who lost his head to a cannon-ball during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War) and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head."
