@johannagranville.bsky.socialHow dangerous were Transcarpathian Ukraine's Hungarians to Soviet power in 1956? The KGB arrested a priest who praised the Pope and jailed teenagers who wrote leaflets. My article:

@othergrahamb.bsky.socialOn the off chance you enjoyed the recent Odyssey film but wondered where all the bronze was in the supposed "Bronze Age", this project might be of interest.
Thanks, Tod, for bringing it to my attention!

@lahistory.bsky.socialOct 8–9, 1846: In US/MX War, the Battle of Dominguez Rancho (aka Battle of the Old Woman's Gun) was a victory for Californios.
From @oupress.bsky.social's "Dancing with Manifest Destiny: Elite Men of Color & the Making of American Los Angeles" book: www.oupress.com/978080619703... #HistorySky #OTD
![Image of an excerpt from the book reads:
California Battalion to land at Santa Bárbara and approach Los Angeles from the north. Mervine arrived in San Pedro Bay on October 6 and, the next day, a combined force under Mervine and Gillespie (about three hundred men) disembarked. Mervine could have waited for Stockton's force to arrive, but, like many American officers in this war, he decided to take an unnecessary risk for a chance at glory. Wanting to retake Los Angeles as quickly as possible, Mervine refused to bring artillery over Gillespie's objections and ordered his men to carry minimal ammunition.
In what became known as the Battle of the Old Woman's Gun, José Antonio Carrillo's Hilachas used a single small artillery piece, previously used for religious and patriotic ceremonies, to block Mervine's march to Los Angeles. Clara Cota de Reyes (the "old woman" in the battle's name) and her daughter, Inocencia, had buried the gun near their Los Angeles residence ahead of the initial U.S. occupation. Once exhumed, the old bronze swivel gun was mounted for mobile use. As Coronel explained, "Two men on horseback manipulated [the gun] with their lariats" while "four gunners served it."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:kir5g4bdxsnchffovxcewgmr/bafkreicwzp6psx3puoryk2oaz7k3vjddac5t5atsasja6mtup3cvf3rzma@jpeg)
@kevinault.bsky.social"It would have been understandable if they had been felled by German guns on the Western Front, but these soldiers had died from a mysterious disease at an army camp northwest of Boston."
