Lowell Naeve

Lowell Naeve, a young painter, refused to register and later to submit to induction for the Second World War, and was imprisoned more than once — at the West Street jail in New York and the federal correctional institution at Danbury, Connecticut — where he kept resisting from inside, joining work strikes and destroying his own draft paperwork. His illustrated memoir A Field of Broken Stones (1950) became a classic first-person account of the wartime resisters. He was released after the war.
