Episode 6: Sleepy Hollow (Part 2) 19th Century and Gilded Age
In this episode join us back in Sleepy Hollow Country. This is part 2 of our 3 part series on Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, and Irvington collectively known as Sleepy Hollow Country. Part 2 covers the 19th century focusing on the area's most famous resident, author Washington Irving. Enjoy a mini bio of Irving's life and times. You will also get to hear some samples of his writing. Next we move on to what is known as the Gilded Age, a time of industry, immigration, enormous wealth and enormous wealth gaps! Visit the home of the Rockefellers and Jay Gould and join me at Sunnyside home of Washington Irving. We also visit the Cemetery where Gilded Age personae such as Andrew Carnegie, William Rockefeller, and Samuel Gompers are buried. I will provide links to the websites for the sites below.
