Blanche Barrow's memoir "My life with Bonnie and Clyde" is a really good read. She wrote it while in prison in the 1930s and gave it to a friend and it was not published until after her death. Blanche paints a vivid picture of a group of small time thieves barely in their 20s living an unglamorous life constantly on the run. "Following her death, Blanche’s good friend and the executor of her will, Esther L. Weiser, found the memoir wrapped in a large unused Christmas card. Later she entrusted it to Phillips, who had interviewed Blanche several times before her death. Drawing from these interviews, and from extensive research into Depression-era outlaw history, Phillips supplements the memoir with helpful notes and with biographical information about Blanche and her accomplices."
Thank you for the comment and the knowledge . I will Amazon the memoir and buy a copy . 👏
Thank you that sounds like a wonderful book 🤗
I’ve been to the site and the museum. This may not be a popular opinion, but they were wanted, not convicted. Innocent until proven guilty was already the law of the land. Think about the outrage that would be felt today if police officers did this and bragged about being a part of it!
Sad to see the site memorials vandalized. Historical sites bring tourists to areas & money to local businesses, even if they were not good people or incidents. People paid alot of money for those memorials to be created & installed, destroying them does not hurt any of the long dead people, only the ones who paid for them.
This was pretty cool, that museum went full out with the blood & bodies, lol. I always find it fascinating that people used to trample all around crime scenes, taking things back then. I dont mind seeing gruesome crime scene photo's but I dont think I could reach out & rip buttons off a warm bloody corpse or cut pieces of their clothes off their bodies.
Have you seen the Teenage Bonnie & Klepto Clyde movie from the 90's? I saw it on tv years ago, it is a teen version of Bonnie & Clyde in more of a modern (90s modern) world.
it is
So many of the younger generations have to "Tag" items as a way of saying they were there.
💯 correct
Idiots tagging....make your mark on society with your accomplishments not a spray can or marker.
are you kidding? a place of remembrance for criminals should not exist yet, erect a statue of jeffrey dahmer, you show guns in a display case like a trophy but you already ignore how many people were shot with this gun, what country wants to commemorate crimes and put monuments and museums there? you don't have a different story so you create it from monsters, do a trip in the footsteps of Charles Manson with the same fascination and the museum to commemorate the inscriptions on the walls with the blood of the victims, I wonder if you were killed a family member would you want to build a museum and a place of memory for the murderer of his crimes and also that people would buy tickets to see with fascination what gun they killed a person close to you, it's sick
@@martalisowskaa8457 Well here is a silly question. Why the hell did you click on a Bonnie & Clyde video? Not only that, you went down into the comments just to complain.
For every place or person such as this, there are victims who will always be remembered because of memorials.
This is a memorial of the PLACE they were killed, not celebrating them for being murderers. If your rambling was true, you YOURSELF just commemorated Bonnie & Clyde by watching a video on them.
Their story always fascinated me. Seeing the shirt Clyde was shot in is very cool. Interesting his sister donated it. That museum is very cool and has shown cool memorabilia
The shirt he got smoked in is with the car in Vegas
@@jamesanthony504 Yes it is. I saw it and took a ton of photos.
@@jamesanthony504
The car was on display at the Convention Center in1969 when I was 10 years old.
After the release of the movie.
It's in Prim NV. 50 miles SW of Las Vegas
Near Whiskey Pete's
The NV/CA state line
I have a Bonnie & Clyde story.
My grandfather was a young man fishing in east Texas one afternoon and was approached by Bonnie & Clyde by the creek. GrandPop said Clyde asked how the fishing was and what bait was the fish biting on. GrandPop and Clyde talked about bait and best fishing spots for a bit. GrandPop even gave Clyde half of his can of worms and then Bonnie & Clyde left to fish. GrandPop said Bonnie and Clyde were actually respectful, quite nice and very likable.
Wow that's very Cool that your grandfather actually met The Real Bonnie and Clyde
@@Billy_Loomis_Editz I thought so too. I did ask my GrandPop several different times if he was ever afraid talking to Bonnie & Clyde. He said Bonnie didn’t talk a lot but Clyde seemed like a good ‘ol boy that enjoyed talking about fishing. He said he all he saw they had were 2 homemade fishing poles.
I guess I wouldn’t have been afraid either if that’s all they had with them were fishing poles.
I grew up 20 miles from where Clyde was born in Tellico, Tx....his Barrow uncle lived about 10 miles to the east of where I live...the famous photos of them were taken near his uncles farm on a visit to see him...Clyde lived with that uncle some as a child...If I had a dollar 💵 for every story about someone's "supposed" meeting with Bonnie & Clyde 😂 that I've heard thru the years
Would you think they were respectful, nice and likable had they killed someone in your family?
@@freedomfirst5557 Well yeah if he killed my no good lazy ass dad. I’d give him a reward.
Imagine all the people who took a “souvenir” and their kids/grandkids threw them away because they mistook them for trash/junk.
My father was 16 or 17 when this happened. He lived not very far from that site. He told me that his father took him to see the shootout location and the car and bodies were still there. My grandfather (his father) was a rural mail carrier and had the first Model T in the county so they had transportation at the time which I am sure had been upgraded by the 1930's. They were the first to have a telephone and television in the area as well.
That's cool because my dad and mom were the first to have a colored TV and telephone in the little county we were from in Md.
It´s a shame vandals have to deface these monuments. That´s as low as anyone can get.
I was thinking the same thing.. it really is a rotten shame 😔
Very sad , I've always thought anyone that could do that had to be suffering from very low self-esteem about themselves and could take their aggressions out on something that could not harm them back Absolutely disgusting to me !!
The Bonnie and Clyde car has been moved from whiskey Pete's in prim Nevada to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum in California
I've been there. The ambush site is still pretty isolated.
I agree
All your vlogs are fun and makes me keep adding to my bucket list of things to see! Thank you so much Jordan & Jah!
Tremendous Vlog, a lot of miles and a lot of research must have gone into it. Really surprised with the amount of stuff they had on display in the Ambush Museum. The actual settings alongside your narrative made it quite atmospheric. Well done for spotting the gas station. Many Thanks Jordan.
Went here last year....It is a "Must See" historical adventure. We ate at the restaurant across the street. Great home cooked meals. The museum is fantastic!
I ate there as well... it was amazing!
i live like an hour away and I never went to this and never will.
Great vlog, Jordan. One thing that concerns me when I see these old museums that are filled with irreplaceable relics of such notable pieces of American history is how subject they are to fire and vandalism. I wish they were in a more secure location.
The owners probably have the items insured for three or four times their value, so they're probably hoping the place catches on fire and burns right down to the bare ground, lol.
We visited there in 2020 when the world shut down. I’m surprised more people don’t know about it or visit. Thanks for giving it exposure!
Who is "we"? You can't be married, you're too good looking.
I watched a documentary on Bonnie and Clyde that showed people coming out in the hundreds to see the dead bodies going to the mortuary. Many were trying to remove clothing and items from Bonnie's body to keep as souvenirs! Great tour as always! I love those small museums!❤️
I loved this Jordan!. I remember the movie with Warren Beaty and Faye Dunaway! So neat to see. I just watched one of your first vlogs about Montgomery Cliff. Jordan it was so good that you went there at night and showed the route he took. I started watching because of the Hollywood actors you covered. Take care and see you soon❤
This was awesome!! I've always been fascinated by the story of Bonnie and Clyde. That museum had an incredible amount of stuff! So cool you got to see all of that and the death site as well!
The death site was actually at the bottom of the hill, where the markers were put on a hill for safety reasons with traffic. Hwy. 171Sailes hwy.
A friend of mine said the sheriff brought their car by their school afterward saying this was what happens to you when you break the law. I don't recall if the bodies were there,but seemed like it.
It's said they had a robbery in Arcadia.
I do not recall that side road, it must be new.
Jordan, the people arguing about the side of the road that was the "kill spot" are correct...it's across road from the markers...which is probably private owned land...the markers set over in the power line right of way on the west side...the gravel areas on both sides the road where the markers are located...were not there in 1934...
What a love story
Henry Methvin and his dad (who was made to partially block the road with his truck), ratted-out B and C to keep Henry out of jail. Lawmen knew exactly where they would be that morning. “Go Down Together” tells the whole story. Excellent read.
Wow
Methvin cut a deal to get a lesser prison sentence in exchange for helping the police set up the ambush
Henry Methhead?
Methhead?
Hahaha.
My neices husband hasn't only seen the real death car, he was there when it was uncovered after decades of living in storage.
His great or great great uncle was the one who they stole the death car from out of his garage in Topeka, Kansas. He didn't own the car long and there is one known picture of him with his new car in the driveway of his house. After the ambush, he kept requesting for his car to come home. It took a long time for that to happen, but the car eventually made it back to its legal owner. He put it in his garage and covered it with a blanket.
His great or great uncle died and they went through his house to collect his belongings from the house. My neices husband was there when they took the cover off of a car in the garage and what was to be found? The death car. Bullet holes, blood, hair and just like it was when they were removed from the car. He was about 12 years old at the time and will never forget that moment.
I can find the address since I lived in Topeka for nearly 40 years and visited the house at a legal distance since it is occupied by a family. I'll have to comment here the address unless you have an email and you could possibly do a short video from there. I don't think anyone in the area really knows the history of that house with the connection to Bonnie and Clyde.
Thanx for the videos brother. I love them all. Josh.
It still had blood and Hair? That's crazy
That's what he said when they recovered it. It makes sense, since police might not clean up items like that when it's evidence or possibly returning to the owners. They are still somewhat like that these days such as if someone was murdered in a private residence, they're not going to clean the property. It's on the property owners.
Thank you for sharing that info! I was just commenting about seeing the car in Nevada at its final home inside of Whiskey Pete’s Casino. It was surreal and really a bit eerie to finally get to see it close-up and in person…
I think the one at Whiskey Pete's is the car. There are a few replicas out there.
Ruth and Jesse Warren are the people it was stolen from. Some young boys claimed they seen Bonnie skulking about looking for a car to steal, but that is questionable because by then she could hardly walk without help because of third degree burns on her leg. The address is 2107 SE Gabler in Topeka. The same house, garage everything is still there. There are pictures of Ruth and Jesse standing by the shot up car in front of the garage (the same one standing today) from back when they finally got it back. Pretty cool. Some greedy sheriff wanted them to pay $15,000 to get their car back, so Ruth went to court for it. And got the car back. Jesse did not want it out in front of the house so Ruth rented or leased it to some fella that wanted to charge people to see it. That fell through and she went to court again to get it back. She then rented it to a Mr Stanley, another man that wanted to show the car off, well after awhile she just ended up selling it to that Mr Stanley for $3500.... So the story says. I am a serious history buff, especially true crime... so I have researched this extensively and those are some of the things I read. I guess the only people that know for sure are the ones that were really there.
Awesome video! You were about 10 minutes from my family’s property. My grandfather watched the car get towed through downtown Gibsland after the ambush!
That was an excellent tour . America has a rich and vast history & it is good to see people like you keeping memories alive . Going by all the bullet holes in the vehicle , they wanted them dead , one could say ,over kill .. I'm Australian and we don't have that much history . Great story . 👍👍👍, aussie bob
What story America have all its crime and drugs and corrupt government 😅😅😅😅
Quite a lot of items in that museum. You made this very interesting Jordan. Lovely to see Jah. Glad he got to Wisner.
Jordan, I just went to your vlog posted on November 21, 2020 "Real BONNIE & CLYDE DEATH CAR How Vegas Was 'MADE'." It certainly looks like the real B&C car they have in Vegas when you compare the bullet holes. Viewers of this video on the Ambush Museum should pop over to the 2020 video. Both vlogs are good entertainment. I also liked seeing the scenery as you drove. Makes me feel like I was along for the ride. Thanks!
That is the spot.. The road was dirt then and then has been widened and trees have been cut back. Good video. Ivey Methvan pulled his truck almost center of the road. They knew that Clyde Barrow would recognize his truck and stop to help. It gave the shooters time to take aim. His son Henry was caught and they were looking to help him get out of jail.
Fantastic Vlog Jordan. Thank you so much for doing this for those of us who can’t get out. Jawh looks so sweet and content all cuddled up on the front seat. 🐶🖤
this was interesting the muesum had a lot of items, someone had a camera to take pictures of Bonnie and Clyde while cleaning gun etc... noticed a list of robberies they've done , my Mom was 8yrs. old on May 3rd. of 1934 when the place got robbed in Everly, Iowa. another great vlog, good day Jordan and Jah and stay safe!!!
I sent you some Bonnie & Clyde info on your live feed...I've been to the Gibsland site 3 times in recent yrs...Clyde was born in Tellico, Tx...a small farming community just east of Ennis...which is 20 miles up I-45 from my hometown of Corsicana....the photo you are using of Clyde holding Bonnie was taken about 10 miles east of Corsicana...in Eureka...a small community...Clyde's uncle lived there and they would occasionally visit him...it was out in the rural area... Clyde had lived with him some as a child and went to grade school nearby...there's actually a road there called Barrow Rd...most of those famous hamming it up for the camera 📷 pics were taken there...the shotgun, pistol and cigar photos....the location of the photos is now under the big Richland Chambers Lake...I know the lady who's family later that land...my cousin who was killed in Vietnam in '70...is resting in the Eureka Cemetery just up Barrow Rd to the west of Clyde's uncles land...the actual "kill spot" was across the road from the markers...in 1934 it was a lot narrower road right of way...it was later expanded for the big power⚡lines behind the markers...in the Netflix movie 🎥 "The Highwaymen" with Kevin Costner, Woody Harrelson and Kathy Bates as then Texas governor Ma Ferguson...the ambush scene was filmed in the actual spot it happened....they added foliage to narrow and gravel on the asphalt to look more like it was in 1934...that's a great movie
The road was widened several years ago, so that's why they don't have the markers on the correct side of the road. When "The Highwaymen" was filmed a couple or so years ago, the production company got with Perry Carver at the museum and they set up that stretch of road to look EXACTLY like it did on March 23, 1934, when Bonnie and Clyde were killed. Fake foliage, sand on the road, etc.. They also used two 1934 Ford Model 40 sedans to film the ambush scene. It was done like stop-motion photography Ray Harryhausen used in King Kong in the 30's. A fender or window with "bullet holes" would be replaced, then a scene filmed, then stopped, and another fender or window switched, so it looks like the bullets are actually tearing into the car in the movie.
That movie was MUCH MORE REALISTIC than the B&C movie With Beatty,and Faye Giveaway!
🐾🐾There’s our Jah! Love this about Bonnie and Clyde. I think I’ve been extra obsessed since a kid because they were killed on my birthday. (Yeah, don’t ask) XD. I’ve seen the car long ago on tour and it’s something I’ve never forgotten. Great video AS USUAL Jordan! 💥
Fascinating story and vlog on Bonnie and Clyde! I have my own story: My grandmother's cousin was H.D. Murphy, the highway patrolman that was killed by Bonnie and Clyde outside Grapevine, Texas. Murphy, my grandmother and family were all from the Alto/Palestine area. Bonnie Parker also had connections to Nacogdoches, Texas where Bonnie's sister once lived, and some say where Bonnie and Clyde hid out for a time.
I did a whole series on Bonnie and Clyde on my channel including Grapevine. I wasn’t able to go to the location of that one because of travel distance, but I covered it because of its importance in how they were viewed and the fact they discussed it with their captive in Commerce, Oklahoma. What happened to Murphy and Wheeler was horrifying. Their murder was basically what Henry Methvin was promised not to be prosecuted for if he turned on B&C. Luckily Oklahoma wasn’t part of the deal and they got him for killing Cal Campbell in Commerce, but still…
Who was your grandma? H.D. Murphy was my grandma's cousin also! Her name was Flora Dee, she was from Alto Texas. She told me about H.D. and the Bonnie and Clyde gang.
Thanks for sharing your story .
Damn H.D. Murphy
Well done Jordan.... The history of Bonnie and Clyde is an important part of depression history.... Sadly the movies paint them as "misunderstood lovers" ... Your account does help to dispel that myth.... Your job of investigation and exposing the history in a non judgmental way is excellent.... Dorothy Kilgallen would be proud of the job that you have done..... You report the facts clearly and let the observer decide.....
💋Another fantastic vlog Jordan! Always bringing your A game to every one you do. Safe Travels and blessings. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Why do people feel the need to carve/paint the names on things, especially historical. Rude!
That's what you get when people come out of the wrong birth canal and should have been flushed! To me, these people are just wasting the air they breathe and trashing the world the rest of us live in.
Terrific vlog, thanks for posting!
Great vlog Jordan!! I've been picked on my whole life because of Bonnie and Clyde. People always ask me where's Clyde? I tell them I don't have a Clyde, but I have Charlie.
Can't wait to see what you have planned next. I have family members that live in Naches Mississippi. I've crossed that bridge over the Mississippi River a couple of times.
Yeah It's because People see your name as Bonnie and they thought you were The Real Bonnie With Clyde 😂😂
@@Billy_Loomis_Editz , What..? No..! They were just teasing me. Joking around. 😏
@@bonniebrown6960 😂😂 yeah it's funny when they tease you
Jordan--Great history! I believe you are correct! The actual 'Bonnie and Clyde' car is
on display, (and it's free to see the car), at Whiskey Pete's Hotel Casino in Primm, Nevada.
For those who do not know, Primm, Nevada, is a small town on I -15,
at the border of California and Nevada, between Los Angeles and Las Vegas...
small world, I just checked off that museum and ambush site from my bucket list last wednesday
My uncle who died last year at 101 told me when he was around 14, he and his school friends were at the edge of town (Jefferson Iowa) and they saw the Barrow Gang by the side of the car cleaning their guns. They dropped in the grass and waited for them to leave. He recognized the car from the photo in the paper. So if that indeed was them, they had gone through Jefferson that day and south on route 4, through Panora and on to Dexter to their demise.
Good story
This all took place in the South while the Great Depression and droughts raged on.. I wonder what kind of decisions I would of made in those situation
Back in the Seventies, my stupid brother and I made inquiries in Sailes as to the location of the Bonnie and Clyde ambush site, provoking laughter from the locals. It seems at that time to have been the local make-out spot, their Lovers Lane, and nobody went out there unless that was their intent. Only the old marker was present, but there was more of it, a noticeable volume having been chipped off in the intervening decades. My brother and I came away from the site convinced that Clyde pulled over to see what the historical marker said, and that's what got the two of them killed. Snort! I'm from Dallas and I've visited Buck and Clyde's graves, but I've never been to Fish Trap where Bonnie was buried.
whiskey Petes has been closed for quite awhile now. the car moved to Simi Valley.
I got to see the car up close last year. It was on loan to the FBI section of the Reagan Presidential library. They had it in a small roped off area so you could get close enough to touch it but there was a guy sitting there to tell you "don't touch it". They also had Clyde's jacket next to it; it would take a very talented tailor to mend that garment.
And a more talented physician to mend Bonnie and Clyde.
Take a metal detector out with you.
You’d have to detect a number of feet out from the road and into the woods as a 30.06 bullet even after it goes through a car would still travel another 100 feet or more so I can promise you those lead bullets fired from the agents are still in the ground out there somewhere on the side of the road. I’d love to go there and find them
Great video! Buddy. I love History myself and enjoy getting out and about visiting locations. Your little dog is cute too. Nothing like having mans best friend with you.
Just because the car kept going doesn't mean anything they were dead as soon as the lawmen opened up ,they were HEAVILY armed including a bar rifle I doubt bonnie and clyde even knew what hit them ,if you see the car you will understand ,bonnie and clyde had outgunned their way out of several attempts at capture so the agents cautioned on the side of absolute overkill.
Nicely done Jordan as always
Bonnie & Clyde had to slow down to pass the faked disabled truck of their friend’s dad who was forced to help the posse. So the road had to have been tighter there. You pointed to the correct side of the road where the posse was. But they must have really widened the road here at some point. In old pictures and film, the little ridge by the road where the posse hid was closer to the road.
It was widened to accommodate the power line that runs down on the west side of the...in 1934 the road wasn't asphalt
Jordan I wish had known you were going to do a Bonnie & Clyde vlog...I could pointed out several places you could have gone by while you were in Dallas...the Barrows combination service station/home in west Dallas...the building is still there empty...Bonnie's school is a little farther west on Chalk Hill Rd /I-30 in what was called Cement City in the 30's...the school building is still there also...it has been renovated recently...Clyde and Bucks graves are in the Oak Cliff area...where SRV lived...Bonnie's grave is off Webb's Chapel road in north Dallas/north of Love Field Airport...she is buried by her mother...you can see their graves from the street...I drove by it going to and from work not knowing it was there...you can also drive to Grapevine close to DFW Airport and see the spot where Clyde, Bonnie and Henry Meffin killed the 2 Texas highway patrolmen on Easter Sunday of 1934...it's on Dove Rd on the west side of Grapevine....there's a marker there too...just to west of Bonnie and mother's graves is a huge cemetery....Conrad Hilton is buried there...his first hotel was in Cisco, Tx between Ft. Worth and Abilene...it was in an area that was a huge oilfield in the older days....if you are ever back in the DFW area...visit the Ft. Worth Stockyards area...a big tourist spot with music, food, sites to see....and daily longhorn cattle drives in the red brick streets...there was an old steam engine🚂 train there, but I think it was replaced by a diesel locomotive....the new John Wayne museum opened last year in the Stockyards...I once met John Wayne's wife Pilar and his beautiful granddaughter Jennifer at a Celebrity Rodeo charity event in Ft. Worth...about '96...Jennifer is in a very good female country group called Runaway June
that make a lot of sense and explains many things, thanks.
That is actually not true he was never forced he voluntarily helped
@@alanponseigo2557 .You're right. But if the Jeff Guinn book is to be believed, at the last minute he freaked out telling the lawmen that he would get killed if he went down by the truck but one of them supposedly told him if he didn't they would shoot him. Since this is about the ambush site itself I was just referring to him getting cold feet at that moment. But you're correct. He was in it all along to help get his dipshit son a deal, or amnesty. I forgot what happened to the kid but I think later on he passed out on a railroad track and got killed.
That whole location site has changed a lot over the many years, road expanded, road had gravel installed, bulldozer pushing dirt all around, trees being ripped out, and elevation changes. I’m sure the exact spot where they were stopped and shot no one knows, and where the car finally stopped as well. But that’s the general area I would assume.
Extremely interesting I've been reading and watching anything I could about b&c awesome video
great video . i have looked at videos and pics where you pointed across from markers other side they was laying in wait for Bonnie and Clyde old man Methman was at side where markers was so they slowed down . cops opened fired then Clyde's foot came off clutch then rolled and ended up in ditch .
I ersonally think they were slaughtered
I've seen car in Primm Nevada and I think it's authentic as well. There were a few more bullet holes but those were probably added later. I thought the bullet hole comparison was quite good with the actual pictures right after the shooting. Greetings from Apache Junction, AZ
Jordan, you do such an amazing job with your channel. I am a quirky history lover and so many non main stream things I’ve been interested in you have covered. Your Old Hollywood videos are my favorite.
You are correct, the actual death car is the one on display at Whiskey Pete's in Primm,NV.
I imagine they were a gruesome site after that. Very neat museum. Thank you Jordan.
I used to live down the road from the Pat Garrett Murder Site when I lived near Las Cruces, New Mexico. Not much there.
Jordan I want to Thank You for opening up my interest in History .I admit I never really cared about it but your Strong passion to tell the thruthful story and show the places and people who were involved motivates me to become interested in the historical context of situations. Seeing the car's or clothing of the era makes it very interesting. Thank you and Jah for igniting a new interest
Jordan I've got to say, I've learned more history through watching your vlogs, then I ever did at school,.No joke, take this vlog, super interesting, names, dates, towns, locations, people involved/associated,lawman,crooks,artifacts,and everything in-between ,wish I'd knew all of this 25 yrs ago when my history teacher wanted essays handed in,haha,.Cracking vlog Jordan.
They were there because Henry's family lived there. Henry's father gave them up in exchange for a pardon for Henry. In fact, Henry's father Ivy was there with his truck. They had jacked it up and removed a tire. Clyde had stopped to help him. Sitting ducks. To say that it was overkill is an understatement. There was nothing heroic about any of those lawmen. The first shot killed Clyde and took part of his head off.
people can't leave anything alone.. carving and putting graffiti all over the monuments
This was very interesting! In junior high, a girl in my class said she was told Bonnie had been her great aunt - and Bonnie was apparently sullen and rebellious from a young age.
sullen means gloomy, depressed and quiet, she was never like that, more the opposite.
Bonnie survived the shoot out at this site at first. She screamed horribly and Frank Hamer went to the front of the car and shot through the windshield on the passenger side to kill Bonnie who was now screaming horribly with her right hand almost blown off. If you look at old movies taken of the death car you see a bunch of small calober bullet holes on the passenger side windshield. One of those bullets fired at close range went through Bonnie's brain to kill her. The death car was driven around after this happened, the owner of the car drove it back to Topeka Kansas, blood and shot out windows and all, but somehow the windshield was replaced and those bullet holes on that side are now not there. The officers said the screams haunted them for many years after, since she was pretty much murdered. Frank Hamer thought she had killed a police officer at Grapevine, but she was in the car holding her white bunny, " Sonny boy". She wasn't a murderer, and didn't deserve to be murdered!!!
In 1987 the "Death Car" was in the Great American Race from Disneyland to Disney world in Florida .. my Dad and I were in that race ... Was pretty weird following the bullet riddled Ford Death Car across the Country... Say Hi to lil Jah 🐶
Wow! That was interesting for sure. Thanks!
I like the museum name!
I bet the markers are where the first shots happened and as Clyde was hit at that site, with the engine still running and his foot still on the gas pedal, it makes sense to me that the car drifted several feet from where the markers are. I agree with you that there should be a marker at that spot also.
Jordan,,, this video was GREAT pure history, at 67 years old these type video's really get my attention, love your work.. THANK you Frank from montana....
This was interesting. I hate seeing graffiti on historic markers and buildings. Jah is the chillest dog I have ever seen.
It was said her thumb was blown off so therefore she wasn’t going to be shooting back
Nice job on the video. And Bonnie Parker’s mother was correct. They murdered her daughter without a fair trial which is something we don’t do in this country. What Bonnie and Clyde allegedly did was horrific but Mrs. Parker was right.
the police had a problem with inadequate firepower, as clyde had the military BROWNING AUTOMATIC RIFLE= BAR. even today it is a weapon that is a killing machine. so, they had to stop this quickly, the public was getting nervous and scared. a fair trial or not they had to be stopped. maybe if her momma have raised her right, then she would not have to worry about a fair trial.
@@jodyguilbeaux8225 Amen and not to mention they wouldn't have been taken alive. They got their justice.
The car didn't roll as far as 40 yards once Clyde's foot came off the clutch.
WHY do people deface these things..uhg...
That's what you get when people come out of the wrong birth canal and should have been flushed! To me, these people are just wasting the air they breathe and trashing the world the rest of us live in.
Monument is 15 miles from my house...I pass by it all the time...
Jordan...You went right through my hometown of Homer.
Good job dude. Love the music. And the laugh. Sorry folks , parks closed. The moose outside should have told you. I was very impressed with the the amount of things the museum had but the bloody bodies in the car and on the tables was in poor taste I thought. But what do I know. It still intrigues me that so many people glamourize cold blooded killers. Ive always been intrigued at how many men they used to kill them. That car is the definition of overkill.
They met the fully automatic 30/06 browning. They got off easy.
Great video although i do take it with a pinch of salt when you said you never knew about the gas station :)
In-laws are from Stuart Iowa where they robbed the bank on Main Street and they have a plaque honoring the robbery. 🇺🇸
The service station you were at was owned by Clyde’s father and they lived behind the station apparently
That was awesome 🤘🏿
Posting in 2024: My dad actually viewed Bonnie's body in Dallas. There's a story about one of the embalmers (who was played by Gene Wilder in the 67 movie), who had been kidnapped by B & C, he actually helped to embalm them in Arcadia. He also allegedly sprayed the crowd with embalming fluid to keep them away
Thank you Jordan i enjoyed this video it was interesting to know about bonnie and clyde. the museum was something to see and yeah we got another clip of jah relaxing with his best pal and can't wait for the next video.
I love this video Jordan hello jahstar 🐶
Clade and boonie were over killed it was not called for
More like they were slaughtered by law "enforcement".
How many did they slaughter?
Great video sad story thanks for taking us along with you and your sweet pup!
Interesting vlog. Great upload!
When I was a kid in the early 70 s I saw the car in east texas
Clyde’s shirt is out with the car in the casino
There is an old saying every criminal will have their day in court ! if you do evil sooner or later it catches up with you
I see my buds Dez, TJ, Ethan and Connie were there.
Great job Jordan, thanks for your effort. Very interesting story.
That was some pretty country you were riding in!!! I wanted to keep going along with you there at the end, lol!!! Jah looked so happy and content getting to ride along with papa Jordan! Can't wait to see where you'll be taking us next!
east texas and louisiana is some pretty country
I wonder if anybody has thought to metal detect the scene.
I've been fortunate to visit this site 3 times with my sons. It's a shame and a disgrace to see the markers desecrated. The marker on the right is new since I've been there last. The caretaker of the Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Museum told me his dad was on the Ambush team as he was the one that I'ded them. Very cool museum.
I'm surprised they let you film inside the museum cause it was forbidden when I was there. And the curator told me that was the site they were killed at.
That museum was excellent. I could spend some serious time in there. I love when you do historical stuff. I'm thinking from the photos that they were both hit in the head and probably died instantly, and then the car veered off the road. So, the markers would be pretty much where they died, just not on the road obviously.
Very cool trip!
It is actually crossing state lines with a stolen car that makes it a federal case....
The parish couldn't get authorization to place the markers on the correct side of the road, so they opted for the other. It had to do with road management and the terrain. Bonnie & Clyde's marker is not the original.
Oh man I was just there 3 weeks ago on Monday. Would’ve been crazy cool to meet ya if we ended up there at the same time!! Maybe someday. Cool spot man take care 😎✌️
it is Disgusting how they treat memorials anymore.. -_-
