Finally Frank Hamer gets the recognition he well deserves.
Bonnie and Clyde were not heroes they were murderers. Hamer was the hero Bonnie and Clyde were not.
He was a true American hero. There needs to be more recognition of this Texas Ranger than Bonnie and Clyde ever got.
Let’s interview family members of this Texas Ranger not Bonnie and Clyde’s relatives.
But they Frank Hamer and the Posse shot B&C without mercy and warnings.. What if B was pregnant? Would that make the men murderers too? They just the same..
Zulfikran Zulmos --- That's right Prentiss Oakley fired the first shot without warning which went through Clyde Barrows head - then they ransomed the bullet riddled car for thousands of dollars- after a court battle she the owner took it back to Kansas - they sold all the looted goods for a major sum of money - I don't think Cydes victims received a penny - Old man Methvin was killed later while walking on a road and Henry Methvin was ran over by a train -
As it turned out, they didn't have to massacre them.
The first shot by Oakley killed Clyde. Bonnie was in no position to fire back or drive away. I can see where the posse didn't want to take any chances though.
@@zulfikranzulmos4066 " would that make the men murderers too ? " by asking that ( insulting question) makes you an idiot ! bloody hell Bonnie and Clyde had been executing cops for the thrill , you expect cops to show mercy to those two animals ?
@@zulfikranzulmos4066 Well they would have still done a great job,those two people were murderers
I just finished this book, and it is quite a tale, about a serious "stand up" guy.
What about Maney Gault?
It's a very good book-I highly recommend it!!
I second this.
Just finished the audio version of this book, exceptionally written and told!
The movie, The Highwayman, I also thought was pretty good!
Very timely book of a real hero! The nation needs to know what these men endure to protect and preserve our nation and what standing up for Justice really means.
David they murdered B& C
Hamer had no choice. A lot of innocents could've died had they not killed Bonnie and Clyde that way. Bonnie and Clyde chose thier path and paid the price.
I just finished this book. Outstanding piece of work sir! Hamer truly was a real life hero. The book did him much credit.
Bonnie and Clyde were murderous cowards who got exactly what they deserved!
I cannot wait to read this book. It is about time the other side of this story was told.
Cowards? No.
U prejudge Tonya
@@timjespersen3605 TY Tim
AMAAZING, AMAZING BOOK! Well Done! I highly recommend it.
Notice this book dont sell w out B& C picture
this is the best book ever I'm getting 2 more books to give as present ,the author is a very very inteligente researcher and collector.
You can't really jump into conclusions when you hear both sides of the story, and I'm glad mr hammer's side had finally been told
TY Honest John
I had read Mr. Boessenecker’s book several years ago, and just stumbled onto this interview while looking for some period footage of Mr. Hamer. The book is excellent. The story of Frank Hamer as manhunter is phenomenal, and nothing in fiction can approach the courage and nobility of the deeds of these lawmen. Don’t be dissuaded by revisionist “history”. These men served and protected their communities just as lawmen do today, and the final shootout was the last straw after all other avenues had been tried, and the Barrow gang had repeatedly, and cowardly, countered all peaceful attempts to bring them safely onto custody.
Can’t wait for the next book!
Hamer knew them for what they were and treated them the same way they would have treated him if tables were turned. Good job Frank!!!!!!
Did frank hamer shoot Bonnie Parker when she's was dying.
I'm reading it now. Very good. We need more Frank Hamers
Frank Hammer was my hero growing up in Louisiana. One Riot, one Ranger!
There were 6 of them who shot at Bonnie and Clyde.
Should have been 20
Leave to Hollywood to turn two killers into folk heroes!
Yep. Thats a compliment Sir
frank is my dads grandma's cousin thats my family!!!!!
Bless u
I b ashamed to publicly admit that
@@gregwatson8219 HA
Anybody that let Clyde shoot first was dead.
Exactly, asking Clyde Barrow to politely surrender would have been tantamount to committing suicide.
What about Bonnie?
@@zulfikranzulmos4066 She didn't have much choice in the matter. She'd chosen Clyde as her man, and Clyde was going down a path that inevitably ended violently.
@@zulfikranzulmos4066
They wanted to go down together. Maybe the best book on B&C written by Jeff Guinn, Go Down Together.
Frank Marion
Yes, Clyde was an excellent marksman.
There is tragedy on both sides in this tale. However i support Frank Hamer and what he did. Clyde's family also wanted their crime spree to end so yeah. I wish there were more police like Frank Hamer taking down real bad guys and bad cops. Maybe things would be better. Idk maybe im just dreaming. Like and respond if u have insight on how u guys think the law is today. Personally there are too many laws and restrictions varying state to state that now its so confusing.
WOW! even tho I love the '67 film, I never thought he was treated fairly in it, having read about him. but I never knew about that racial stuff .'Highwaymen' was great. but I can't see any self-respecting law man allowing a lynch mob to see one thru.
This was such a great read thank you
I personally have no sympathy for bonnie and clyde or anyone like them.. this book was a good read.
Yup but really have to shot them that way?
Frank wasnt alone.give credit to the rest of the possee. Hinton..Alcorn, Oakley..who were the other 2 ?
but frank is the man that organized and found them
dont forget Gault my man
But they just shot B&C without mercy.. Felt sorry for B&C also..
Zulfikran Zulmos what about all the people they killed with out any mercy?????
@@zulfikranzulmos4066 you feel sorry for a couple who had commited burglarly, robberies, and murdered at least 13 humans in cold blood?
you feel sorry for guilty b&c that they were killed,. i _wonder_ how you feel about all the innocent lives they took in cold blood. either you do not truly gauge the situation, or your head is not screwed on straight. respectfully
Bass Revess.
What if Bonnie was pregnant at that time
She chose her career!
The ultimate all time ever movie is the lost reel of the actual ambush that goes with the aftermath clip that we’ve been shown
There are the few frames taken with a top view as the car rolls forward
You mean the man who slaughtered Bonnie and Clyde no one deserves to be shot fifty times
I wonder what Frank Hamer would have thought about Donald Trump?
He would have voted for the best President ever Trump 2020
It can't be worse than what he would of thought about Hillary that's for sure
Not much proably!

Frank Hamer, a true American Badass
I'm just reading this book. It's a superb biography that sheds light on a man that should be a household name. I can only assume it's because of the mentality of the mob at large who wrongly believe that Bonnie & Clyde were folk heroes. They were cruel, ruthless bastards. Hamer was a straight-as-an-arrow guy, ok, a man of his times, but decent and honourable. What surprised me in the book was the massive extent of lynchings, racism, crooked lawmen and officials and a massively corrupt so-called justice system in Texas at the time. Well done Mr Boessenecker.
Superb book!!!!!
I’m ashamed to say I’m commenting from San Jose, CA. This video really lifted my spirits. God bless the National High School Rodeo Association.
Bossenecker is one of the best, if not the best, of current historians on the West. His book on California outlaws is a classic. I strongly recommend any book he's ever written.
Thank you.
Great book,John.
He ambushed them which is a fact, it was fair but the story has changed. B & C had no chance to react and that was noted. Then "guns in hand", Bonnie was holding a sandwich by ALL ACCOUNTS. Hamer was a bad ass but his heart was thumping when he approached the car after the AMBUSH, title of his book as well. He did unload another baragge into a clearly dead Bonnie. Also he robbed the corpses of personal property along with the other 5. Only one and I'm sorry the name escapes me returned Clyde's sax to the family.
It was reported at the time that they reached for their guns (and a mention of a partially eaten sandwich near the bodies, presumably Bonnie's); the firing without a warning was the revision peddled by B&C sympathizers, which includes some biographers. Thus, the ambush is often left to interpretation, because not all historians agree with the details. Also, the coroner later found a handgun strapped to Bonnie's thigh.

Bonnie and Clyde deserved what they got. They left 12 innocent people dead in 2 years. Only a fool would give them a chance to grab their guns. The actual video shot at the scene showing all the weapons in the car. I get a little tired of this outlaw hero worship.
Bless u . Bfore during and after ambush. The posse acted shameless. almost Criminal
@@artistaprimus7080 2 sides to every legend. The classic movie will always have final say. Movies have life their own.
Ok there dead let's move on Frank 💪 you the man 👊💪
Bonnie Parker had a half eaten sandwich in her hand, she was never seen shooting anybody or even using a gun?? She was murdered in my opinion!
He was a liar. He repeatedly said they pulled guns when that was patently untrue. He emptied a magazine into a dead or dying Bonnie as well, despite all his BS about never wanting to shoot a woman. All of these people need to be measured by the standards of the time, which were pretty poor, but this guy was no hero ...
You know him first hand right
Wow. I guess you were there then?
Amen Mark!!
