1891 Sherlock Holmes and Professor James Moriarty - This is the day that the two went over the Reichenbach Falls, thus beginning Sherlock Holmes' Great Hiatus. When the story of The Final Problem was published in 1894, telling the public of Holmes' supposed death, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle received scores of angry letters, and men wore black armbands in the streets of London to depict their mourning. Happily, Holmes was brought back in The Adventure of the Empty House

Does anyone remember how long Holmes was supposedly dead?

I know... an acquired taste but I liked the Stooges.
