Not far from Carlsbad.
Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.
- (Wallenstein 24th September 1583-25th February 1634)
- Holmes's index is in error. Eger, not Egria, was located in Bohemia. Bohemia today is part of the Czech Republic. Carlsbad (or "Karlsbad") is a city in the Czech Republic about 100 miles from Prague that is famous as a spa. In Conan Doyle's time, Bohemia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.(Stanford University).
