## Experience

A true child of Sleepy Hollow: drowsy, peaceable, and given to trances, visions, and the seeing of marvelous sights.

##### Hans Van Ripper Homestead (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Goose-girl** — 1784–present

Rose before cock-crow to milk the herd and churn the morning's butter; the kitchen ran on what the farm made and bought almost nothing.

##### Hans Van Ripper Homestead (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Hired Man** — 1790–1793

Dipped candles, boiled soap, and kept a snug, well-ordered Dutch kitchen; the taproom's takings rose on every night I worked it.

##### Sleepy Hollow Grist Mill (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Cider Presser** — 1790–1793

Smoked the hams, salted the pork, and filled the cellar against the snows; the sleigh got the household to church through every drift of that winter.

#### Skills and tools ##

Practised at fording Wiley's Swamp, fence mending, and pumpkin cultivation, with tending geese, cider pressing, haymaking besides. All of it learned on the holdings of this valley, from people who had it from theirs.

_Recorded in the parish register of Sleepy Hollow, autumn of 1799._
