[meteorite-list] Hraschina historical notes

[Mike Bandli]

Hi Mark,

Nice job! I love what you are doing with the site.

One correction though - The first "Widmanstatten patterns" were first
observed a few years earlier by G. Thomson on the Krasnojarsk iron (Pallas
Iron). See here:

Hi folks,

A couple of accounts of the Hraschina fall in 1751.  The first observed fall
of an iron, and the first meteorite where the Widmannstatten pattern was
observed:
