- Summary:
- In 1952 the U.S. Navy began illegally testing high-explosive bombs on an enormous expanse of public land near Fallon, in northwestern Nevada. The land had long been sacred to the Northern Paiute Indians, who called it the 'Source of Creation.' The Navy called it the 'Bravo 20'. Here is the dramatic story and the first photographic documentation of what happened to the public's land at 'Bravo 20'.
