Question: Calling all the smart people from the Vietnam generation!!!!?
How do I figure out who was the first man that refused induction into the draft in Minnesota!. Is there a website or book or article!? Or maybe you know!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ouch!. I don't know if this is even possible!. *If* it was documented it would probably have been in a local newspaper!. Very likely the first dodger quietly tore up his card and ignored it - in which case you're out of luck!.

You could check with the archives in Minnesota local newspapers!. If such person was busted then the Department of Justice might have something on file!.!.!. if they'll let you see it!.

Good luck! This will be a difficult search!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

www!.google!.com "Minnesota Vietnam draft resist" and start refining your search results!. You might add the year that you think it occurred - or you could try a FIA request - FBI doesn't have any interest in hiding the info!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would go to your local public library as it was probably in the newspaper of the time!. Librarians are very helpful!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
