Papers and negatives of Dennis L. Boyer, a weather observer in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. The majority of the collection consists of literature, flyers, and posters relating to anti-war organizations in the early 1970's, particularly the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). These materials give an idea of the aims and scope of such organizations. Also documented are several anti-war trials, including the Gainesville Conspiracy. Correspondence, mostly letters written to Boyer during his Air Force service, describe events on the home front. Boyer's letters to his parents, and especially to his friend Peter, describe his time in Vietnam and his growing discontent with the conflict. The collection also contains negatives of photographs that Boyer took while in Vietnam. Most of the shots are of landscapes and buildings, but some show unidentified US military personnel. English
