Melvin Horace Purvis II (October 24, 1903 – February 29, 1960) is most noted as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent who captured or killed bank robbers such as Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger, and Pretty Boy Floyd. Purvis became the FBI's golden boy, having captured more of designated public enemies than any other agent but found himself sidelined after he began to enjoy better press than J. Edgar Hoover. All this overshadowed his later career in the military which saw him directly involved with General George Patton, Hermann Göring, and the Nuremburg Trials. More about Melvin Purvis
