Description: Jeanne Sharp Howerton, a fourth-generation Nevadan who grew up on the Blue Eagle Ranch at the edge of the Nevada Test Site, will share her visual memoir “In the Dawn’s Early Light.” In 1951 at the age of 10, Howerton began keeping diaries detailing her experiences of watching atomic bomb detonations from her childhood home and recording the impact atomic testing had on her family and neighbors. She will also share original images captured on her slide camera in the 1950s.
Speaker: As a historian, author and photographer, Jeanne Sharp Howerton has published six books on the history of ranching and mining camps in eastern Nye County, Nevada. For more than 30 years, she also taught for the Clark County School District’s program for gifted students. After retiring she began writing full-time and giving talks about local history.

During the event, each panelist will speak about critical work in nuclear security and participate in a discussion led by the moderator. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask the panelists questions. Afterward, guests can enjoy an exclusive meet-and-greet following the discussion.
