Kern N. Bulloch was born on June 7, 1925 and was raised in Cedar City, Utah. From a young age, raising and herding sheep was his occupation, as was his father's before him. It had been his lifelong occupation, interrupted only by service in the Air Force in WWII. In 1951, Kern married Vera Bulloch, and they raised a family. Bulloch herded his sheep between Utah and southern Nevada at the time the US was conducting nuclear testing. The impacts of that testing on their livestock prompted the sheepherders to file suit in Bulloch v. USA. While legal victory was often out of grasp, Mr. Bulloch testified before the House Judiciary Committee and played a key role in drawing attention to the Downwinders. He died in 1999.
The collection contains autobiographical and biographical materials relating to Kern Bulloch and his life of sheepherding and downwinders activism. Photographs, letters, legal documents, news clippings, congressional materials and scientific reports relating to the death of the sheepherders' stock are included.
Arranged by topic, then chronologically.
