Excerpt from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and the Spectre Bridegroom: From the "Sketch Book"I recollect that, when a stripling, my first exploit in squirrel Shooting was in a grove of tall walnut-trees that shades one Side of the valley. I had wandered into it at noon-time, when all nature is peculiarly quiet, and was startled by the roar of my own gun, as it broke the Sabbath stillness around, and was prolonged and reverberated by the angry echoes. If ever I Should Wish for a retreat, whither I might steal from the world and its distractions, and dream quietly away the remnant of a troubled life, I. Know of none more promising than this little valley.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
