In part One of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane had been invited to a fall feast at the home of Baltus Van Tassel, with his eye on the lovely Katrina Can Tassel. Mounted on an old steed named  Gunpowder, he is ready to make his way across the countryside to the farm of Van Tassel.   Ichabod was a suitable figure for such a steed. He rode with short stirrups, which brought his knees nearly up to the pommel of the saddle; his sharp elbows stuck out like grasshoppers’; he carried his whip perpendicularly in his hand, like a sceptre, and, as his horse jogged on, the motion of his arms was not unlike the flapping of a pair of wings. A small wool hat rested on the top of his nose, for so his scanty strip of forehead might be called; and the skirts of his black coat fluttered out almost to the horse’s tail. Such was the appearance of Ichabod and his steed, as they shambled out of the gate of Hans Van Ripper, and it was altogether such an apparition as is seldom to be met with in broad daylight.  Join us for more of this adventure!
