This month (July 22nd) marks the 75th anniversary of the death of John Dillinger, the first fugitive to be named Public Enemy Number One by the FBI. With the new movie, Public Enemies, starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, comes a renewed interest in this charismatic felon. And, being the stereotypical documents librarian, I wanted to find a way to use this new movie to promote documents. Think documents are boring?
Check out these documents on John Dillinger and his accomplices:
FBI: Evelyn 'Billie' Frechette
There are also documents on some other names you might recognize from the movie:
Sonnet Erin Brown
Head of Federal Documents
Reference & Instruction Librarian
Subject Specialist: Legal Research, Political Science
Earth & Environmental Sciences, Philosophy
Sonnet: I love your Dillinger idea; last week I was thinking about doing a display here at LSU on that topic. Can I use your resources?
