Ep 14 - Matilda Hoffman and the Tomb of Washington Irving's Fiance - St. Mark's in the Bowery - a podcast by Bruce Burnside

In this episode we go in search of the tomb of Matilda Hoffman, the fiancé of New York's first great writer, Washington Irving. She died in 1809 at the age of 17 just as Irving was finishing his History of New York. Join us as we search the East Village's St. Mark's in the Bowery church for the source of this tragic turn in a young couple's love. Find more about this episode at www.citybetween.com. As always, our amazing theme music was composed by Dylan Thurston (www.dylanthurston.com).
