One of this man's books as advertised as the work of an old Dutch historian was a satirical account of the title city's past. After writing a biography of Christopher Columbus, this man was inspired to write a collection based on a tour of a Spanish palace. This man penned a work in which the title character heads into the (*) Catskills and wakes to find that a portrait of King George III in a pub has been replaced with one of George Washington. In another story by this author, a schoolteacher vies for the love of Katrina Van Tassel before being chased away by the Headless Horseman. For 10 points, name this author of "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
