“Inside Box 2663” - written by a wife of one of the scientists - Eric Jette. It was published by the Los Alamos Historical Society in 1977. Her husband didn’t even tell her where they were going - it was so secretive. She wrote of arriving in Santa Fe with her husband and 10 yr old son and being taken to the lab. Tells the stories of the wives.

I actually live 50 miles north of the Trinity site and the missile range. Often hear explosions coming from there. At the range, they even have a desert ship to shoot missiles from. There is a lot going on down there.
