Harry, a 32-kiloton tower shot in May of 1953, was the dirtiest atmospheric detonation ever conducted at the Nevada Test Site in terms of population exposure to radioactive contamination. Fallout descended upon St. George, Utah, and residents were instructed to shelter in place for approximately two hours. The timeline regarding Harry’s arrival in St. George and when the shelter in place directive was issued, however, remains the subject of controversy, as do the potential health effects. Harry not only illustrated the inadequacies of the Atomic Energy Commission’s (AEC) management of offsite fallout, but also called into question modernist assumptions of the command and control of nature. Based on archival analysis of AEC memorandum and reports as well as documents associated with civil litigation against the federal government, I more fully articulate the events surrounding shot Harry and highlight the implications for historical analysis more broadly.

The murder of Elmer Conant on the tiny island of Moloka‘i in June, 1923, was an act of local resistance to a wave of social and economic change. The hunt for Conant’s murderer, and the subsequent prosecution of a Native Hawaiian man local authorities believed was responsible for it, reveal the power territorial elites could exercise over life in rural Hawai‘i, the ambiguous nature of indigenous response to that rule, and the way colonial power could shape memories of the era. This microhistory reverses the conventional lens used to examine Hawaiian history by concentrating on rural events and ordinary people far removed from the capital city who confronted the forces of colonialism and whose struggles helped shape island history.
