Sideview of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow

"The dominant spirit, however, that haunts this enchanted region,
and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air, is the
apparition of a figure on horseback without a head. It is said by some to
be the ghost of a Hessian trooper whose head had been carried away by a cannonball
in some nameless battle during the Revolutionary War, and who is ever and anon seen by
the country folk, hurrying along in the gloom of night, as if on the wings
of the wind. Indeed, certain of the most authentic historians of
those parts . . . allege that the body of the trooper, having been
buried in the churchyard, the ghost rides forth to the scene of battle
in nightly quest of his head. The specter is known, at all the
country firesides, by the name of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow."
