Curatorial Remarks

Note

First page sets up the story with reference to Irving's Legend: " 'And so,' continued Duke Durbano, private investigator, 'Ichabod Crane felt the hot breath of his pursuers charging on the back of his neck. He ran, faster and faster, to the far side of the bridge, knowing full well the next moment could be his very last." and "The story was at its end, but still Durbano felt a terrifying tingle race up his spine. For there was evidence that the old Washington Irving tale may not have been all fiction--"
