I stole from the bankers who stole from the people. Harry (“Pete”) Pierpont Member, Dillinger Gang Robbing banks and getting away in fast cars, John Dillinger was busy during a thirteen-month crime spree (in 1933-34). How did this gangster, also accused of murdering a police officer and designated "Public Enemy Number One," become an American folk hero? Because Dillinger was also a gum-chewing, easy-quipping, lopsided-grinning, charismatic guy - and journalists loved to write about him. If it hadn’t been for Harry Pierpont, John Dillinger may never have become a “Public Enemy.” If it hadn’t been for Indiana’s Pendleton Reformatory, the two pals might have never met. If it hadn’t been for a prison in Michigan City, Dillinger may not have learned Pierpont’s bank-robbing skills. And ... if it hadn’t been for Dillinger’s bank-robbing skills, he might have failed to become the Depression-era’s “most wanted man” (whom Americans secretly, or openly, admired). But ... this is not a story about might-have-beens. It’s a story about what was - and what became of a group of gangsters who helped give birth to the FBI.

  • DILLINGER Here in America, Ford Recently Has Lost a Little Legend and the Long-Deceased Marque Hudson Has Gained Some
    DILLINGER Here in America, Ford recently has lost a little legend and the long-deceased marque Hudson has gained some. According to the book, “Dillinger, The Untold Story,” John Dillinger, Public Enemy No.1, who supposedly favored Ford’s 1932 crop of hot and fast V8 flatheads, actually didn’t. According to “Dillinger,” Dillinger’s actual bank robbery vehicle of choice was Hudson’s model Essex-Terraplane 8. And all those admiring letters sent by Public Enemy No. 1 to Henry Ford? Apparently Dillinger never mailed them. Dillinger’s standing as the worst, probably most dangerous, crook of all time, remains unchallenged. He’ll always be remembered as the prototypical bank robber, the far-ahead-thinking hoodlum who was first to realize that the era of running the law ragged on hot-blooded stallions was finished: a really up-to-the-minute desperado must loot by automobile, and even employ shady racing drivers to chauffeur his getaway cars. So impatient was Dillinger to get on with a life filled with truly big-time crime that he began the enterprise by going over the wall at the Indiana State Prison. His date of escape was 26 September 1933. Accompanying him were murderers, embezzlers, and an assortment of other violent hoodlums, all destined to be known as members of “the Dillinger Gang.” You don’t, however, achieve the status of Public Enemy No. 1 without acquiring overwhelming firepower. So Dillinger began paying criminal calls on the only rival organizations in possession of all the dangerous weapons of destruction he and his fierce tribe of bank- robbers required.

  • Travel to Chicago
    Sweet Home Chicago A Front Porch Travelogue Page 1 Introduction For those not familiar with the Front Porch Travelers, let me take a moment to introduce you. They are six senior citizens who have become very real over the past many years that they’ve been presenting the travelogue for Activity Connection. Couples Nell and Truman McGiver and Bert and Ethel Davis join sisters Mabel and Maude Gunderson in their virtual adventures around the world. Click here to learn more about the Front Porch Travelers. Page 2 The Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood, might have said it best in their song “Sweet Home Chicago” from the movie The Blues Brothers. They sang, “Baby, don’t you wanna go back to that same old place—sweet home Chicago,” and this month, the Front Porch Travelers are doing just that. Chicago is near and dear to Bert’s heart because that is where his grandparents lived during the 1940s. Page 3 Truman Loves History The city of Chicago is located in the area of the United States known as the Midwest. It is located in Illinois, which joins the states of Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin in what is also called the Heartland of America. Page 4 The first record of the name “Chicago” dates back to 1688 and was derived from the Algonquian word Chigagou, meaning onion field or wild garlic. The city’s first permanent settler was Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a trapper and merchant originally from Haiti. In 1779, he built the trading post that evolved into what we now know as Chicago.

Criminals such as Al Capone, and Bonnie and Clyde were sought after by local, state, and national law enforcement for their crimes. Sure, all of these gangsters committed crimes, but no one received the notoriety of the American public like John Dillinger. Only one gangster, John Dillinger, earned the title ―Public Enemy Number One.‖ John Dillinger robbed banks, engaged in high speed pursuits, and also killed law enforcement officers. Which leads one to wonder, what makes John Dillinger one of the most popular outlaws of all time? This paper will focus on what made Dillinger wanted more than any of the other notorious gangsters in United States history during the 1930‘s and to what extent the Department of Investigation and J.
