Billy Dean Anderson (July 12, 1934 – July 7, 1979) was an American criminal. He was jailed and paroled three times, and his 20 year crime career included armed robbery and prison escapes. He was added to the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in 1975. Despite his unlawful behavior, Anderson became somewhat of a folk hero among those in his native Tennessee, even more so after he was shot and killed by FBI officers while evading arrest. THIS POSTER WAS ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ON JANUARY 8TH, 1975. IT IS IN PHENOMENAL CONDITION AS YOU CAN SEE. DON'T MISS IT!LegacyLegends abound in Fentress County regarding the man known as Billy Dean Anderson, as his story takes on much the same interest locally as that of Jesse James. There are many legends about his death, including some that tell that the authorities only managed to get him because he got tangled in a barbed-wire fence or that he stopped because they tricked his mother into calling his name.Anderson was a sympathetic figure to many in the area, which had a long history of violence around moonshine stills and logging camps.Of the five other fugitives placed on the FBI Most Wanted Fugitives List in 1975, Anderson eluded federal authorities for the longest period. His nearly four-and-a-half years on the list were longer than all but nine of the more than 60 placed on the list during the 1970s.What is not legend is that Anderson was a gifted painter. While in prison he produced over 300 paintings, most of them were idealized versions of a muscular Christ. He was also an accomplished woodcarver. Brushes and paint were found in his cave hideout in Pickett County. PLEASE MAKE US YOUR BEST OFFER, WE WILL ACCEPT ANY REASONABLE OFFER THANK YOU VERY MUCH
