Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones are two characters from the story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. The setting of this story is New York, during the 1790's, in a place called Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod Crane, who was the new school teacher and also instructed young folks in psalmody, soon had his heart stolen by a young coquette known as Katrina Van Tassel. Katrina was a blooming young lass of fresh eighteen and was to one day inherit her father's large fortune. Ichabod, however, was not the only admirer who wished to make Katrina his wife, a very strong and muscular man named Brom Van Brunt also had an eye for the beautiful Katrina. Ichabod and Brom now had to compete to see who would win the heart of their beloved Katrina.
Ichabod Crane had a name very fitting for him, for he very much resembled a long-legged, long-necked bird. As was said in the story, "He was tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together." Ichabod Crane was also very conscientious and superstitious, he enjoyed reading about witchcraft and hearing stories of ghosts and goblins.This is proved by the quotation in the story, "... he had read several books quite through, and was a perfect master of Cotton Mather's History of New England Witchcraft, in which, by the way, he most firmly believed." Brom Bones took advantage of Ichabod's superstition by playing boorish practical jokes on him in attempt to settle the feud between them for Katrina Van Tassel.
Brom Bones was a very muscular and mischievous man. He had a Herculean frame, curly black hair, and often played pranks on Ichabod. As was said in the story, "He was broad-shouldered and double-jointed, with short, curly black hair, and a bluff but not unpleasant countenance, having a mingled air of fun and arrogance." The problem Brom had with Ichabod was that they were both trying to win the heart of Katrina, and it seemed as though Ichabod was winning.
In yet another attempt to toy with Ichabod's imagination, Brom Bones told Ichabod and the rest of the men he was talking to at the Tassel's party in which they were invited of the time he supposedly encountered the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod took the story to heart on his journey back home that night. He let his superstition get the best of him and very frightened as he approached the very place where many of the scenes of the ghost stories had been laid. He soon noticed something huge, misshapen, black, and towering. After traveling a little while longer, he realized it was the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. The Headless Horseman chased Ichabod at full speed to a bridge over a brook, and then ended the chase by throwing his head at him and knocking him off his horse. In the morning, Ichabod's borrowed horse was found at his master's gate, but Ichabod was nowhere to be found. Ichabod's hat was found at the brook next to a shattered pumpkin. It is said that Ichabod was carried off by the Headless Horseman, or perhaps left town. Now that Ichabod was gone, Brom Bones had won the feud, He married Katrina Van Tassel.

Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones are two characters from the story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. The setting of this story is New York during the 1790s in a place called Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod Crane, the new school teacher who also instructed young folks in psalmody, had his heart stolen by a young coquette named Katrina Van Tassel. Katrina, an 18-year-old, was set to inherit her father's large fortune. However, Ichabod was not the only one interested in marrying Katrina. Brom Van Brunt, a strong and muscular man, also had eyes for her. Thus, Ichabod and Brom found themselves competing for Katrina's love.
In terms of appearance, Ichabod Crane was described as resembling a long-legged, long-necked bird. As the story states, "He was tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together." Ichabod was also known to be quite conscientious and superstitious, enjoying reading about witchcraft and listening to stories of ghosts and goblins. This is evident from the quotation in the story, "... he had read several books quite through, and was a perfect master of Cotton Mather's History of New England Witchcraft, in which, by the way, he most firmly believed."
On the other hand, Brom Bones was a muscular and mischievous man. He had a strong physique, curly black hair, and frequently played pranks on Ichabod. As the story describes, "He was broad-shouldered and double-jointed, with short, curly black hair, and a bluff but not unpleasant countenance, having a mingled air of fun and arrogance." Brom's issue with Ichabod stemmed from their competition for Katrina's affection, and it seemed that Ichabod was winning.
In an attempt to toy with Ichabod's imagination, Brom Bones told him and the other men at the Tassel's party about his supposed encounter with the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. This story deeply affected Ichabod on his way home that night. His superstitions took hold, making him extremely fearful as he approached the very place where the ghost stories had been set. Soon, Ichabod spotted the Headless Horseman, a huge, misshapen, black figure towering before him. The Headless Horseman chased Ichabod at full speed until they reached a bridge over a brook. The chase ended when the Horseman threw his head at Ichabod, knocking him off his horse. The next morning, Ichabod's borrowed horse was found at his gate, but Ichabod himself was nowhere to be found. His hat was discovered by the brook alongside a shattered pumpkin. It is said that Ichabod was either carried away by the Headless Horseman or fled the town. With Ichabod out of the picture, Brom Bones emerged victorious and married Katrina Van Tassel.
