Aron Gabor (1814-1849) A Transylvanian Szekler, whose abilities in
technology were sharpened by service in a Habsburg military border
artillery unit. He
became one of the leaders of Szekler forces in
Transylvania during 1848 and a participant in the Szekler assembly
at Lutita (Agyagfalva) in October 1848. He achieved fame and
noteriety by succeeding in producing cannon and gunpower for the
Magyar forces in Transylvania as well as to leading the resistance
in Covasna county to imperial troops. He was killed in action in
July 1849 against the Tsarist invasion forces.
