J. Edgar Hoover - 1920s

On May 10, 1924, Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone appointed the 29-year-old J. Edgar Hoover acting director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and by the end of the year Mr. Hoover was named Director and led the FBI for 48 years.
It is an ironic twist of fate that yesterday, the current Director of the FBI, James Comey was fired by President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
Also, coincidental (or maybe not), is that a book by David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon & the Birth of the FBI, (link below), was published last month on
April 18th
by Doubleday.
