A Revised, Expanded 2017 second edition. THE STORY BEGINS...and a new type of hero emerges from American history. A mild-mannered lawyer and reluctant veteran of the Revolutionary War roams the countryside as a new agent for the Inspector General of New York. His mission: to quietly enter small towns and see what remains of our justice system. He meets a runaway bond-servant who is disguising her looks behind dirt and rags. She tells him there's something terribly wrong in Sleepy Hollow; something she's ashamed to admit. He arrives at the town with a new identity, Ichabod Crane, schoolmaster. "I have decided to travel to Sleepy Hollow incognito. They say a community can be judged by how it treats its weakest members. I would become the Judas goat. Recalling the events I witnessed, I should have been less cavalier. One woman led me into this calamity; another led me out"____ Ichabod Crane. Blacksmith Brom Bones and the local farmers bully Ichabod as a weakling, but Katrina, the town beauty, starts to see through his charade. Fifteen year old Phoebe and her best friend Ingrid develop a fascination with their teacher. Seen through the eyes of school girls with crushes, they secretly watch him and discover a very different kind of hero indeed. On Halloween night, the not so timid Ichabod discovers the town secret and rides into legend on the Hessian Bridge.See the characters on FACEBOOK. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sleepy-Hollow-The-Secret-Life-and-Legend-of-Ichabod-Crane-Amazoncom/123031531136798
