| Abstract | Many soldiers from German provinces fought as mercenaries along with the army of English King George II in the American Revolutionay war. When they were killed, how was the disposal of their bodies and effects far away from home handled in the New World? Washington Irving's 1820 story of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow relates the haunting actions of one such cavalryman who was buried without his destroyed head. |
