The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, 1820 was inspired by "A real Hessian soldier decapitated by a cannonball at the Battle of White Plains around Halloween in 1776."

Irving wrote a legend while living in England. Some scholars suggest that Irving's story may have been inspired by the folk tales he heard abroad. German, English and Scandinavian folk tales of headless knights chasing unhappy travelers have been told for generations.

The lesson of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is to keep superstitions from shaking you and overwhelming your reason.

The moral of the story is a small town, and the romantic competition between local bullies and school teachers culminates in horrifying night rides. In a small town called Sleepy Hollow, a skinny school teacher named Ichabod Crane comes to town.
