Step-by-step explanation:
Upon Pegasus' death, different events and reactions were described in various literary works. In 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,' the horseman's ghostly presence and the panic it caused are depicted, while in 'The Virginian,' Venters finds one of the horses dead and removes its saddle and bridle.
