Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (October 1, 1910 - May 23, 1934) and Clyde Chestnut Barrow (March 24, 1909 - May 23, 1934) were an American criminal couple who traveled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression, known for their bank robberies, although they preferred to rob small stores or rural funeral homes. Their exploits captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is occasionally referred to as the "public enemy era" between 1931 and 1934. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians. A photo of Parker posing with a cigar came from an undeveloped roll of film that police found at an abandoned hideout, and the snapshot was published nationwide. Parker did smoke cigarettes, although she never smoked cigars. According to historian Jeff Guinn, the photos found at the hideout resulted in Parker's glamorization and the creation of myths about the gang. The 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, directed by Arthur Penn and starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the title roles, revived interest in the criminals and glamorized them with a romantic aura. The 2019 Netflix film The Highwaymen depicted the law's pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde.
At approximately 9:15 am on May 23, the posse were still concealed in the bushes and almost ready to give up when they heard the Ford V8 Barrow was driving approaching at high speed. In their official report, they stated they had persuaded Ivy Methvin to position his truck along the shoulder of the road that morning. They hoped Barrow would stop to speak with him, putting his vehicle close to the posse's position in the bushes. When Barrow fell into the trap, the lawmen opened fire while the vehicle was still moving. Oakley fired first, probably before any order to do so. Barrow was killed instantly by Oakley's head shot, and Hinton reported hearing Parker scream. The officers fired about 130 rounds, emptying their weapons into the car. Many of Bonnie and Clyde's wounds would have been fatal, yet the two had survived several bullet wounds over the years in their confrontations with the law.

Looking at all of those places associated, *back in the day, with the notorious pair, is so interesting. So, the owner tore down the filling station, for the reason given. I am glad that you paid quite a tribute to the young troopers, who tragically were murdered, Nick.🙏🏻 It's a tough call. You naturally want to cover the story of the two criminals, but personalizing victims of their murder sprees is very, very important, too. Because they were so evil, I guess a lot of people didn't want to preserve, and restore locales associated with them. They, for the most part, let nature, and time, take its course, it appears. great job, Nick, very compelling... 👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for the well spoken comment Rhonda!! I couldn’t have said it better myself. Thanks as always for your support 😊✌️

My great grandmother was a dress maker in west Dallas. When Clyde was killed Cummie didn’t have a dress so my great grandmother lent her a dress to go to the funeral.

[@TravelswithNick]

Wow! That’s definitely a cool story. Thx for sharing that!

[@CurtArnsdorf]

Why do they insist on saying that Bonnie pulled the trigger on Weller and Murphy, when Henry Methvin and Clyde did?

[@bobbyserchion]

Oh man all of this is so sad a lot of this did not have to happen😢😮😢

[@TravelswithNick]

I agree. Thanks for watching!

[@CM-sy6ud]

Such a shame the old filling station was demolished. Too many people these days have zero respect for our history.

[@TravelswithNick]

Agree it’s a shame it was demolished. Thanks for watching!

[@nexttsar]

I thought Prentiss Oakley was the youngest of the posse. No?

[@TravelswithNick]

Ted Hinton was 1 year younger than Prentiss. About the same age though. Thx for watching!

[@mma709]

It pisses me off on how we are losing so much of our historical landmarks. Like it our not it’s our history, if we don’t learn from it we will repeat it

[@TravelswithNick]

Yea same. I wish more landmarks were still around. Thanks for watching!

[@tarronspencer5483]

Apparently Bonnie never shot anyone.

[@TravelswithNick]

I guess one will never know but I heard that as well. Thx 😎✌️
