The Potential Origins and Uniform of The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow

The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow has been a story that has scared readers for the better part of 200 years but not much is actually known of The Rider let alone his uniform. Well that's about to change with this one. It's honestly a little surprising the idea for this video didn't manifest sooner as it pretty much fits the bill for just about every category covered on the channel and works perfectly for Halloween!
