One of the true pioneers of the early FBI, and the FBI's training academy, "Hank" Sloan arrived at the FBI in 1935 from the Texas Highway Patrol.  With thanks to his surviving relatives, the photos, his diary from his training days, and his daughter's written legacy to her father provide an inside look into the Bureau of the Depression Era. 

More on "Hank" Sloan can be found in the navigation area or doing a "site search, " but his 1935 FBI Application is here.
