On this day, April 3, in 1783, Washington Irving was born in New York City. Best known for his stories, Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, he was also an accomplished biographer, with works on Christopher Columbus, Muhammad and George Washington (after whom he was named, due to his being born the same week that NYC inhabitants learned of the ceasefire that signaled the end of the Revolutionary War) to his credit. Not only a writer, he also went on a surveying mission deep in Indian Territory, spent time as the U.S. Ambassador to Spain, and gave advice to a young Edgar Allen Poe. He died of a heart attack at his estate in Tarrytown, New York in 1859, at age 76.
