FBI Files

These files contain information regarding extortion attempts that targeted Elvis (which were investigated by the FBI), correspondence from members of the public expressing concern over Elvis’ stage performances and music (which make fascinating reading towards the end of the first PDF file!), as well as letters related to Elvis’ wish to meet J. Edgar Hoover, the first Director of the FBI, and much more!
