Dillinger at Little Bohemia
John Dillinger accompanied by nine others checked in at Little Bohemia for rest and escape from the ever vigilant eyes of law enforcement. They were told that this was a place where no one would ever find them. As the weekend unfolds one of the most historic moments in gangster and FBI history occurs in a small Northwoods community that suddenly hears the sound of gunshots in the night.
Presented by Kay Krans: Kay Krans is a board member of the Manitowish Waters Historical Society. She is a Retired high school history teacher and lecturer in the Department of Education at Mississippi State University. Much of her local history research involves uncovering crime and criminals in the Northwoods.
