The talk had drifted from one topic to another much as the smoke wreaths had puffed, floated, and thinned away. Then Handon Gay, who was an ambitious young reporter, spoke of a lynching story in a recent magazine, and the matter of punishment without trial put new life into the conversation.” - Paul Laurence Dunbar, The Lynching of Jube Benson The Heart of Happy Hollow is a collection of 16 short stories that revolve around a small southern community named Sleepy Hollow.
