In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," a short story by Washington Irving, we encounter Ichabod Crane. Ichabod is an extremely superstitious schoolmaster from Connecticut. He is in love with the daughter of a wealthy farmer, Katrina Van Tassel. However, the town rowdy, Abraham Van Brunt, is also competing for her hand, which is the main conflict presented in the story. Van Brunt plays a series of pranks on the schoolmaster and eventually marries Katrina, after Ichabod's disappearance.
