can anyone pls help me summarize the Legend of Sleeping Hollow by Washington Irving?
I have used probiotics in the past for my dogs and I've never had anything like this occur at allLast year, I switched to raw feeding for my dogs and any intestinal issues I had prior pretty much cleared up with the introduction of a raw diet, so I've not needed the probiotics since that time.
The story is set in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, New York in a sequestered glen called Sleepy Hollow, around the year 1790It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a priggish schoolmaster from Connecticut who is scared away from town by Abraham 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 immigrant herselfThe legend featured in the story is that of the Headless Horseman, the ghost of a Hessian trooper who lost his head to a cannon-ball during some nameless battle of the American Revolutionary War and who rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his headThe denouement of the fictional tale is set at the bridge in the real location of the Old Dutch Burying Ground in Sleepy Hollow (formerly North Tarrytown), adjacent to Sleepy Hollow CemeteryThe characters of Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel may have been based on local residents known to the authorThe character of Katrina is thought to have been based upon Eleanor and her name comes from Eleanor's aunt Catriena Ecker Van TasselThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow follows a tradition of folk tales and poems involving a supernatural wild chase, including Robert Burns's Tam O' Shanter (1790)With Irving's companion piece Rip Van Winkle, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is the earliest American work of fiction to still be read widely today.
