Join us as we kick off 2026 with our 20th "This Week in History!" From Samuel Colt's 1847 revolver contract that saved his company, Utah's 1896 statehood after Mormon reforms, Patsy Mink's historic 1965 entry as the first Asian American woman in Congress, to the 1933 start of Golden Gate Bridge construction, there's these and so much more that's happened this week...

Also check out the latest History Bites about Thomas Paine's Common Sense, also celebrating an anniversary, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9QFHRPnheQ
