	Ichabod Crane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ichabod Crane is a fictional character, a schoolmaster featured in Washington Irving's story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".
		Irving probably borrowed the name from a real-life Ichabod Crane, a soldier from the American Revolutionary War who is buried in Staten Island, New York and whose grave is now a frequent target of vandalism.
		Ichabod's most notable traits in the movie include squeamishness (fainting a total of six times during the course of the movie) and an ahead-of-his-time liking for post-mortem examinations and scientific methods.

	The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Irving, Washington. 1917. Rip Van Winkle & The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Vol. X, Part ...
		Ichabod Crane had a soft and foolish heart towards the sex; and it is not to be wondered at, that so tempting a morsel soon found favor in his eyes; more especially after he had visited her in her paternal mansion.
		Ichabod only lingered behind, according to the custom of country lovers, to have a tête-à-tête with the heiress, fully convinced that he was now on the high road to success.
		Ichabod, whose fears increased with the delay, jerked the reins on the other side, and kicked lustily with the contrary foot: it was all in vain; his steed started, it is true, but it was only to plunge to the opposite side of the road into a thicket of brambles and alder bushes.

		The story's main character, Ichabod Crane, is also the model for most comic portrayals of the country schoolmaster in 19th century U.S. fiction; echoes can be heard in virtually every humorous tale that includes a petty tyrant ruling over his one room schoolhouse.
		Though the story is less about Ichabod's trials in the classroom than his attempts to romance the daughter of a wealthy landowner, Washington Irving's portrayal of Ichabod as schoolmaster and his sketches of the classroom are vivid and precise.
		Most of the story is occupied with a description of Ichabod Crane and the community of Sleepy Hollow with little direct discussion of the schoolmaster with his pupils.
