There are still bullet holes in the union station to this day. Just a few less. An apprentice from a restoration company filled at least 2 up before the boss stopped him.
If Floyd had robbed banks for 1 year then took that money and left America and went stright he coukd have lived a great life. He did this for the thrill and fame not the money . He knew he was going to end up dead yet still went forward. This is what baffles me about these gangster types of this era.
i live here where pretty boy floyd from ... i know where his grave is and alot of his family still alive and here in sallisaw oklahoma his brother became sherriff here in sequoyah county
Hi there you aren't the only one when I was a kid I'd watch every show and movie about the gangsters Mama had the song about Bonnie and Clyde. I'd cry every time Lester flat and Earl Scrugs Great song.
It's amazing how much of my history I thought I knew was in fact wrong. Pretty Boy Floyd died in my home state of Ohio. LOL, I grew up in Youngstown, Ohio; where we referred to it as "Little Chicago." Man, do I feel old! 😹😹😹
He was to not put a finer point on it, he went out of his way to ruin any career opportunities Purvis could have just because Purvis got the fame for taking down Dillinger and not him.
That's putting it rather kind. He was a real piece of work who covered a lot of stuff up including his gay lover. Sadly, I know too much about this one. My family always said he was on the take.
Floyd was shot right outside East Liverpool, Ohio. His body was taken to Sturgis Funeral Home in downtown East Liverpool and put on view for the public. My great grandmother went to view his body. She always told us that he was the most handsome man she’d ever seen. To this day there is a stone and historical plaque along side the road where he was shot.
These are so well done! Better than Hollywood. I knew a guy a long time ago whose first ex-wife was a direct descendant of Dillinger and his second ex-wife was a direct descendant of Pretty Boy Floyd. The guy was from Louisiana and a big commie.
Nothing to do with the video, but the table that the actor is sitting at, that tablecloth and runner is beautiful. don't know who did set designs etc, but over and over again, good job. actors too. kind of brings these guys to life. thanks for expanding on these folks.
I watched an episode on the boondocks which featured a guy named pretty boy fleezy,,I didn't know he existed,,,even though they decided to make him a music star
Welp no though because if it wasn’t for them the FBI wouldn’t be what they are today people learn from their mistakes and people miss fortunes that’s how you learn and find cures and get better without pain you won’t learn without struggle you won’t grow that’s the way the game baby enough said I’m out🙇🏾♂️💯^
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent still -motion pictures 📷/drawings/reenactments/guest speakers sharing personal knowledge pertaining to the out law life style of Floyd & associates. Unfortunately Floyd was framed for the K.C. Massacre😭.bless Mrs. Conkle for feeding Floyd his last meal😋. Wishing viewers a safe/healthy/prosperous(2024)🌈🎉💵😉.
His funeral is STILL the largest funeral ever held in Oklahoma to this day. My fiance is from that area and her Grandpa claimed to have sold moonshine to Floyd. Akins is just 10 minutes from Salisaw so next time we go to visit her mom I'm going to find Floyd's grave.
Only the FBI can straighten out America today, but they need to walk a straight line. There is enough laws. Stay out of politics and throw the corrupt and law breakers in jail no matter what political party they belong to.
When I heard the FBI agent possible shot to death 3 people with the repeated fire shotgun( fooling with it ) , it is stunning. The fact is when you commit any type of crime , you are putting your life in danger. Pretty boy put his life in danger when he robbed banks and was a wanted fugitive. Maybe he did not participate in the Union Station massacre but his image made him a high suspect.
I googled Pretty Boy and boy he is so handsome in his real life pictures! Plus allegedly he burnt a lot of mortgage papers during many of his robberies so people were free not to pay their mortgages because the banks had no records. He still did wrong though
Lol we all do wrong nobodies free of sin even you done wrong in your life some worse or than others but still that’s why god or Jesus died for our sins on the cross and of course^😩💯🤦🏾
How did he get the name Pretty boy Floyd lol, to me he wasn’t even “cute”. Lol Dillinger was way better looking, heck even Al Capone in his “young days” looked better than pretty boy Floyd lol. Maybe he was dubbed pretty for his hair

Excellent video
I admire the work u guys put in to make these documentaries

He did this for the thrill and fame not the money .
He knew he was going to end up dead yet still went forward.
This is what baffles me about these gangster types of this era.
Alvin Karpal was the only survivor
Alvin Karpis
It's that gambler mentality, "just one last score"
i live here where pretty boy floyd from ... i know where his grave is and alot of his family still alive and here in sallisaw oklahoma his brother became sherriff here in sequoyah county
A lot of my family knew his family, a lot of the Floyd’s are related and there is a WHOLE bunch of them
These documentaries make me more excited than I'd like to admit 😊
Hi there you aren't the only one when I was a kid I'd watch every show and movie about the gangsters
Mama had the song about Bonnie and Clyde.
I'd cry every time
Lester flat and Earl Scrugs
Great song.
Sheriff "I see nothing I hear nothing I know nothing... " A very wise man.
Greed always gets ya !!!
Pure class presentations.

Man, do I feel old! 😹😹😹
That Hoover sounded a right immature pratt
He was worse than that. Pervis wasn't much better.
Hoover was a horrible person
He was to not put a finer point on it, he went out of his way to ruin any career opportunities Purvis could have just because Purvis got the fame for taking down Dillinger and not him.

In high heels and a dress!🤣🤣
Born and raised in the River Quay of Kansas City, still live here to this day.
FBI still crooked today.
Ty so much I totally enjoyed this. I also like the cartoon graphics. Keep um coming.
I love anything about the 30s Era gangsters
Interesting
I love this old days history it is very intriguing and entertaining such a treat.
not bad work

Purvis was from SC. Quinby to be exact.

here he was a movie star here in sallisaw ok.
I watched an episode on the boondocks which featured a guy named pretty boy fleezy,,I didn't know he existed,,,even though they decided to make him a music star
There was also a 1930s gangster called Machine Gun Kelly. He ended up in Alcatraz. Now that's the name of some rapper.
Floyd wasn't at the Kansas city massacre!
Well yeah, the autopsy proved that. But thats what criminals deal with back then, if you need a bust and you have a mark... well they take the fall.
Floyd was yet another victim of another myth created by Hoover, he was not in anyway involved in the Kansas City massacre
Wow great work
Wow!
folks did not tell was because pretty boy helped the poor folks here
Great movie and artwork!!!!!
The 1930's were probably about the most memorable times in American history !!!!!!
The 1920s were the most exciting by far. The 1930s were the most hopeless. The 1940s were the most memorable in my opinion. Some would say the 1960s.
In any case these gangsters , and outlaws , helped shaped those times to be most memorable in American history
Welp no though because if it wasn’t for them the FBI wouldn’t be what they are today people learn from their mistakes and people miss fortunes that’s how you learn and find cures and get better without pain you won’t learn without struggle you won’t grow that’s the way the game baby enough said I’m out🙇🏾♂️💯^
He was married to my great grandfather's first cousin .
There is an article somewhere in the Miller County news when Floyd's car got stuck in the mud etc.
He should have owned up to it. It would been legendary
He just a local boy name Floyd in Oklahoma
He was my great great grandma's first or second cousin.
Payton
Shot in the back while running. Sounds like he was murdered.
This guy was my great great grandmother's first or second cousin and to think my great great grandfather knew Bonny and Clyde.
My grandparents moved to Wyoming from Missouri.
Badass
The way to be a Gangster... He hated the name "Pretty Boy"
Was Ellieot Ness involved?
no
It's been said the site of the massacree is haunted .
his momma must have given him that nickname , cuz he ain't that pretty .
He is pretty. Jealous a bit? A lady who ended up being his gf gave him that name. And he was pretty even his death photos he was pretty.

Easy pickings. No police radio's, police couldn't cross state lines, no alarm systems.
Would you have been a bank robber or a cop?
I could skip the reenactments, otherwise all good

Hoover was just using every one just to get the credit

Enjoyable but terrible casting for Floyd.

Terrible acting.
