Reenactment @dominguezrancho October 8-9 1846 The Battle of Dominguez Hills American forces tried to capture Los Angeles the residents at that time had hidden old firearms and other weapons and didn't really stand a chance against the Americans who were up to 300 men compared to the Mexican forces who were only 50 strong. The advantaged they had against the Americans was an old brass 4 pounder cannon that was buried in the backyard of Reyes and was a key factor in winning this battle which is why it was nicknamed The Battle of the Old Women's Gun in Reyes honor. American forces were forced to believe that they were outnumbered because of the tactics of their enemy and decided to retreat Los Angeles.
