Abstract:

Papers, 1964-2009, of Dennis Boyer, a Wisconsin labor leader, primarily documenting his service in the Air Force during the Vietnam War, his activities in the Wisconsin Labor and Farm Party (LFP) and the Green Movement, and support for Native American treaty rights. Documentation on the evolution of the Green Movement in the state and its relationship to third party politics in Wisconsin is particularly strong. This part of the collection includes files on numerous state and regional groups which Boyer co-founded such as the Independent Greens, Upper Great Lakes Green Network, the Wisconsin Greens, and the Yahara Greens and for which he wrote position papers and press materials. Prominent correspondents on treaty rights include Dee Berry, Walter Bresette, William Hurrle, Harvey Jacobs, Frank Koehn, Sharon Metz, Jeffrey L. Peterson, Ray Starrett, and Frank Zeidler.
