Big Screen Cartography: Public Enemies: Robberies of the John Dillinger Gang Map Available from Ball State University Libraries
The action movie Public Enemies directed by Michael Mann and starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale premieres tonight at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The movie is based on the book by Bryan Burrough Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34 (available in the General Collection of Bracken Library). The movie focuses on the legendary bank robber John Dillinger of Indiana, who became America’s first "Public Enemy Number One."
The GIS Research and Map Collection created the map Public Enemies: Robberies of the John Dillinger Gang based on information from Burrough’s book and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Historic Famous Cases Web page. The map marks the locations of reported robberies of John Dillinger and his gang beginning with a robbery in Daleville, Indiana, in the summer of 1933. The map follows Dillinger’s activities through his death the following summer.
A copy of the map is available in PDF-format from the Ball State University Libraries Cardinal Scholar repository at http://cardinalscholar.bsu.edu/595/. Additional printed copies of the map may be obtained from the GRMC weekdays from 7:30 to 4:30. Contact the staff of the GRMC for more information at 765/285-1097.
