No. That paragraph (about the Austrians and Bavarians
ignoring the hillbillies along their Bohemian-Forest border)
refers to the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
when Bohemia was part of that empire's Austrian half.
(The Bohemian Forest runs along about 80 percent of
the border between Bohemia and Bavaria, which is
Bohemia's entire western border.) --Tommie
