My grandma was friends with them growing up in Texas. She was given a pearl handled S&W 32 by Bonnie that I now have. They were evil, but owning a piece of history is still cool
Evil, huh.. Funny that the system you folks worship bankrupted america and created people that wanted to survive. Funny you say they are evil but is ok to own a piece of that evil to make you a somebody.
Man they really need to restore that gas station back to original condition with period gas pumps and a replica phone. Needs to be kept in good condition so other generations can enjoy it.
Thanks for the video and all the information. However, I've read or heard somewhere that as far as the cafe, Bonnie & Clyde did not eat their last meal there, they got the sandwiches to go and were going to eat them in the car so that might need to be fact checked if anyone knows for sure.
Thanks so much and thx for watching! You are correct they did order their sandwiches and take them to go. I think what I meant in the video was more so the last meals they had were from that cafe. Not actually sitting down and dining there. Thanks for checking out my video 😎🤘
WOW, it must be chilling to stand in the spots where these events happened, Nick. Thank you for all the research, and the tracking of these near final, final, and post final events.
Out here in San Antonio, my friend has a bar and right next to the bar is a golf course and apparently Theodore Roosevelt used that open field to train the Rough Riders as they prepared to go into Mexico and hunt down Pancho Villa, there's also a monument on the side of the road
Hi Nick. Thanks so much for taking the time to video this for so many who have not had the chance to do so themselves. Kindly let me to help out a bit: "Frank Hamer would have COME back this way"......"Bonnie and Clyde would have COME this way".......they would not HAVE CAME this way...... "HAVE CAME" is borderline cringe worthy I'm just being honest - you could say that they came this way........but not have came. (btw - sad that Dallas didn't find the time to prevent the demolition of the Barrow gas station earlier this year. Pretty super shocking. I'm not one to glorify violence but I am also not one to suggest that we tear down statues or demolish the small fragments of our past just because I do not agree with it. Most people are not yet aware of the true history of nearly everything as it stands anyway, so to suggest such a thing is likely one being quite oblivious to one's own ignorance! See all of 2020-2021 for reference.) Cheers!
I know what you mean. I left Gibsland one evening in 1979, just before the sun went down. I was getting the creeps pretty bad. I'm not one to give into that kind of thing either.
No mention of the classic film with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. That film is a major reason that Bonnie and Clyde are remembered. It was a huge hit back in the 60s.
Thanks for visiting my childhood town. Glad to see the museum is still up and running. As a kid, I had no idea (or just memory) of visiting the site and seeing the stone, but we've been to the museum's live reenactment a few times. :) Nice to finally learn and have the capacity to understand the history.😄
Why do people always have to smear monuments, I hate that so much.....I know they were murderers,but it's still part of the story, without which the Texas Rangers, for example, might not exist anymore....which many people do today Helps people.....I think to myself. And I think it's a shame that a historic building is allowed to rot until it collapses and is just a pile that you want to push away.... Greetings from northern Germany.
Well I’m glad it’s still standing . They recently took down statues of George Washington . I would have taken money from some of the neighborhoods to repair them .
@@kennethcurtis1856 Obama had many monuments taken away. It’s Texas history that he thinks promotes violence. The monument is no different than this channel. It tells the story from history. Real life. & if someone has A death wish.. the state of Texas & the Feds will end it quick.
Very interesting. I saw the car when I was a kid. They had it on display at the Danbury Fair in Danbury, Ct. I was probably about 5 years old at the time, but I'll never forget it. It left a lasting impression on me. I'm 65 years old now. It was interesting to see. It's a part of history. It's also somewhat tragic.
Thank you for all your research I've always been fascinated by the story of Bonnie and Clyde. I've now marked everything onto my Google maps. You have done a brilliant video thanks again all best Gary
What's interesting to note is when they filmed the death scene in the movie "The Highwaymen" (Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson), they filmed it at the exact location that the real ambush happened (like you show in this video). They had to bring in tons of dirt to pave the now-asphalted highway, along with fake trees and bushes to bring the woods and highway back to the way it looked in the 1930s. That must have been one heck of an expense.
Yes! Thats probably part of the reason why I love that movie the fact that they shot it at the exact location is amazing. Thanks for the great comment!
I was there several years ago just after a major restoration of the memorial stone. I understand it was defaced again less than two weeks after I was there. So sad people can’t just leave things alone. Leave nothing but footprints; take nothing but memories.
@@laurenurban3942 I can't imagine anyone in their right mind condoning or celebrating the actions of Bonnie and Clyde. Yes, their murderous actions and total disregard for the sanctity of life was appalling and horrific. Using this as reason to damage and destroy something that is part of history, as criminal and evil as it is serves little purpose, other than to satisfy a personal grievance. Also I'd imagine the State of Louisiana would have laws that prohibit the discharging of firearms in a public place.
Excellent job on this project my friend. I would love to visit the site someday myself. I bet it was kinda spooky to be there and know what happened so many years ago. Excellent.
Thanks so much for the nice comment! It’s definitely out there but worth the trip if you’re into this stuff. A place I’ll never forget. Thanks again 😎✌️
The site has been picked over by treasure seekers and others when they were killed . The road has been moved a little as well so part of the area has been paved
Whatever anyone thinks of them, they are legendary figures, not only in the US, but all over the world. Another aspect is anyone who went down the road they did these days would only be on the run for a few days or a couple of weeks at most due to the technology available to law enforcement. Their like will never be seen again. Good video mate 👍.
@@TravelswithNick i'd love to see all this , but alas i don't think i will , i love the old gangsters like Bonnie and Clyde , Dillenger etc , they were like Robin Hood characters steal from the rich , if only i lived in the States !!! unfortunately i live in the UK ... 😞😞😞😞
Which side of the road did the car end up at? This is so confusing. The old footage contradicts the spot of the angle. Did the car end up on same side where the lawmen were? Seems so
I think the law enforcement was on both sides. I've often thought it was a miracle that officers weren't killed by friendly fire. Frank Hamer was the conductor and situated things well. They over did the fire power. Bonnie and Clyde were probably dead in the first 30 seconds.
From the photo taken when the bodies were still in the vehicle it appears that it ended up in the ditch 50 yards after the ambush spot on the opposite side of the road as the markers are, if this video has the direction of travel correct.
@@kens.4198 that can't be true. The markers are on the same side in which they were traveling from so that would mean the car got turned around going back the way it was coming from.
You driving to the spot where they were killed isn't any weirder than us watching you drive to the spot they were killed. We're all "ambulance chasers" when it comes down to it.
Am from Puerto Rico, and living in Iowa. Lately I really enjoyed this kind of story, like Billy the kid.. and this video uuff , I really appreciate it. Thank you.
Wow, it's amazing you got to stand right there where it all happen. Something just popped into my mind. May 23rd was my mom's birth date in 1916. Thank you for this amazing video.
The Barrows wanted to bury Bonnie next to Clyde, but Mrs. Parker said, No Clyde had her when they were on the run, he’s not having her next to him for eternity!
👩💻I understand that the producers looked all over for the same road and foliage. But they decided on the same spot because the undulating curve of the road could not be matched. Just watched the movie the other day, and it's still as good as the first time. Texas Rangers, men hunters, putting them on the spot. It's good to see the lawmen side of the story.
My aunt and uncle lived in Arcadia and I have visited all of the locations in this film. My uncle's dad was a young boy when their bodies were put on display and remembered seeing them. He talked about residents tearing at their clothing and using knives to cut hair off for souvenirs. The original monument at ambush site has so much damage to it that it's really hard the inscriptions. The museum is really interesting to visit.
It's a damn shame that people have to vandalize everything these days, they have no respect for anyone or anything! If I owned the old gas station I'd have to restore it instead of letting it rot to the ground! I've been studying history all my life and think it should be preserved no matter how good or bad it was as long as it's true.
Thanks for your little documentary did,, I was wondering, as I was looking at you at the death location where the Rangers were hiding behind the bushes and do you think anybody had metal detect that area to see if they can find cartridges spent from shooting at Bonnie and Clyde?
They were set up by a family friend. They had arranged to visit that day. The friend pretended to have a flat tire on their route. When they pulled over to hel, they were shot up
@@Just_Peachy8777 correct...but wouldn't exactly call them family... Ivy's son Henry was just someone who joined them after Clyde helped free some people from prison and he (Henry) just happened to be one of the lucky ones to be freed.
It was Methvin's father who was used as a decoy on the the side of the road, his truck jacked up and the front right tire removed to look like it had a flat. Apparently, he was even tied to a tree. Super illegal.
10:45 So, I've tried to figure out WHERE the cops were when they opened fire. They were across the street from the car, correct? They had to shoot over the roadway, they weren't on the same side of the road as Clyde's car?
So the road use to be a lot smaller than it is now. So I was a little off when I made this video. I believe they were on the same side that the car went to after they were shot. The cops did shoot from in the woods though. They did not come out like Kevin Costner did in the movie. Besides that everything else pretty much matches up. Thanks for watching!
@@TravelswithNick Yes, I realize the road was narrower, but you're saying that after they opened fire, the car rolled ACROSS the road TO the side that they were shooting from? I thought it just rolled forward a little.
Those pumps weren't there in 33, maybe from the 60s. My parents are from the South. In my little kid days, I saw gas pumps from that era. Funny looking, but they worked. Gasoline back then was less than 25 cents a gallon.
The friend who set them up did not want to. The detectives were threatening to lock up his son. Even though Bonnie and Clyde gave him alot of $ he set them up to spare his own son who was involved with the 2 outlaws
If you could pin point the actual spot where Clyde stopped and most of the shooting took place, before the car rolled down the hill a bit after they were both killed, it might be possible, using a metal detector, to find a bullet or two, maybe get really lucky and find an empty shell where they were shooting from, one or two may have been missed.
That's a fascinating thought. But I imagine that section of road has been paved and repaved many times and so much soil moved around. It would be a miracle to find a slug now, but who knows.
@@jakedode Yes, you're quite right. Of course a number of those battlefields (that aren't under a parking lot) are federally protected and have little changed since the 1860's.
😎Dam I'm from Louisiana still live here didn know it was way back in 1934 Wow didn know I thought like 1959 are something. An how they knew to be there waitn you came to a Y in the road an turns right?
My father in laws uncle told me about going to view the bodies. He always complained that they were charging 50 cents to view them. Must have been a lot of money in those days. He lived south of Shreveport when it all went down. He was 34 at the time.
I visited the site some years ago. It was cold drizzly rain. Some ferrel dogs living behind in the woods who would not let me near them. They made their choice. Killing police is not a healthy choice now and less so then. Frank Hammer is burried in Austin TX along side his son who died as a Marine in WW II, Iwo Jima. Sad.
Back in 1934,the road was a lot more narrow and and the high ground that the Texas Rangers were hiding was closser to the actual road... The ditch that this guy is standing in wasnt there at the time,the high ground is gone in order to widen the road and pave it... The car drifed futher and stoped beside the bank next to the road...
Hamer didn't come out of the blind and show himself like in the Highwaymen movie. Once Bonnie and Clyde stopped, the local Sheriff got nervous and jumped up and shot twice, killing Clyde, the other shooters then started to riddle the car with bullets.
@@TravelswithNick I've had a recent obsession with the whole Bonnie and Clyde saga. I've watched and read everything I could about them, I find the small details of their story fascinating. As an example, I never knew Bonnie was so petite, she was under 5' tall, weighed around 80 pounds, and only had a size 3.5 shoe.
Wow, so you were actually there huh. So why don't you Enlighten Us on other details seeing how you're so knowledgeable and right there at the exact moment Everyone started Shooting
@@cliffray1683 Do some research my friend, it's all out there if you look for it. Of course there are varying accounts of the incident, but the preponderance seems to be as I noted.
@@jbrewster6175 if you knew who I was that was the most stupid comment that you could have made. But you don't but family histories a lot more correct than your stupidity
That Car still ran after they killed them. It was in Dunstons Steakhouse, in Dallas, when I was a Kid. Interstate Batteries does a big cross country Antique Car Race every year. I was on it in 1993 but, the year, or two, before I did it, one Team ran The Bonny and Clyde Death Car in its original condition complete with all the Bloodstains and Bullet Holes 😳
I live in the town where they robbed the bank and that bank was also in the original movie. It’s still on the corner of the town square. Our town has an annual Bonnie and Clyde reenactment of the bank robbery and get away.
Boots took to the location, and Pin pointed it to us. His Daddy was a Dallas County Deputy Sheriff whose name appeared on the marker. He owns the museum in town. I, having retired law enforcement of 44 years, did have several connections to his daddy and boots alike. I was told his has passed away. I still have a few things Boots gave me. I was just there about 2 weeks ago to the markers . I've been there a few times. Being from Dallas County and having worked in a place officers capacity, I know a ton of people dealing with B and C and the JFK Murder alike. My grandfather owed a gas station just down the road from the Barrow family. Clyde stopped by regularly for gas or auto repairs, and grandma did not like him and Bonnie either one. Grandfather said I had been knowing his family and him for years. He doesn't pose any threat to us. We ain't a bank, cops, financial house. Of prison guards We're like family. He pays cold, hard cash because he supports local businessmen. How he comes about getting it is between him and God. He said now that if we refused him service, he might take it badly, and who knows what might happen or not. Chief Jones Retired
Im not an expert in all this but seen some movies. But what was the difference between Bonnie and Clyde vs Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann fugate? Both stories sound familiair.
Why are the markers that you say is the exact (SPOT) on one side of the road and you are on the other side and down some 150- 300 feet from the markers saying this is ware they stopped??
No... they were merely accused of murdering multiple victims. According to our highest law, they remain innocent until proven guilty. Having said that, I too highly suspect they were guilty but... I have to stand with the written law.
@@bendover4154 …..This is irrelevant and inconsequential…and is a case in point under common law, also written law, which most of our law is based. The other is statutory law to which you wrongly refer. This was clearly the “exception to the rule” and this met the exception. Otherwise you give them a sword and a shield with “due process” and “innocent until proven guilty” which they refused to recognize. They were judged and sentenced by the long arm of the law which is often, but rarely necessary. Why? They could not be taken alive and refused to allow others to apprehend them so they could face the wheels of justice. There were eyewitnesses to most of their crimes which included murder, robbery, armed robbery, kidnapping, grand theft auto, vandalism, defrauding innkeepers, assault, escape, etc. etc. Accordingly forensics, at that time, named their weapons, tire tracks and yes fingerprints as exhibits of evidence. Their death was their judgment due to the way they lived-by the sword. It was of their making and their choosing. Do not forget Clyde WAS a convicted felon, already judged and under a sentence for which he escaped. Bonnie had aided and abetted him and his unlawful flight against justice which put her in another category altogether…harboring fugitives of justice etc. If you dispute the deaths of their victims, and any of their voluminous amount of crimes, that is wrong on so many levels. Hollywood promotes such garbage by glamorizing blood-thirsty, heartless animals. This is ignorant and vilely repugnant.
@@MarkCartret Irrelevant? Inconsequential? The U.S. Constitution / Bill of Rights IS the supreme law of the land thus it supercedes "Common Law" and/or any other imaginary laws you care to present.
My Sister and I were there in 2022. Museum was very interesting, a lot of stuff in there and the man that ran it was very knowledgeable. What I found interesting along that road that Bonnie and Clyde traveled ( their last) was they passed a church and then a graveyard just just minutes before they died 😮
Clyde was dead after the first shot, they could have stopped firing and taken Bonnie alive, but instead just kept shooting till their guns were empty, Bonnie and Clyde were outlaws but the posse were no heroes.
Hey nick, I do some videos similar to yours, well I did- I can tell you prefer those people didn't show on those bikes, gives you more freedom to film etc lol..Also, my aunt lived in Wisner La. Great video man!

Correct! In the movie I talk about they filmed there but they brought in a lot of fake trees to make the road look smaller and more grown in. Thx for watching 😎✌️
@@sammyprestwood3182 what's so funny rustymebane? The Highwaymen was actually alot more real than that bullshit warren beatty fay dunaway movie. And it was filmed in some actual places where it happened. You sound like the type that doesn't like facts to get in the way of a good story.
Sou do Brazil....a história de Bonnye e Clyde é facinante...vi um filme sobre eles....muito bacana histórias sobre os mitos Américanos....Deus abençoe os Americanos....
Since the decoy truck was intended to make Clyde have to slow down, the road had to have been much tighter here. It must have been widened later. The shooters had to have been on a rise much closer to the road.
So what I read on a history site said that they went to that restaurant and had breakfast and took two sandwiches to go for lunch. Clyde got a BLT and Bonnie got a fried bologna and apparently they were sitting in the car. She took one bite of the sandwich and that’s when they got the hail of bullets Shot into the car and it was 167 bullets
In elementary school we were taken on a field trip to the Louisiana state police crime lab and were shown a picture of Clyde's body laid out with all the bullet wounds
I have that movie. I still watch from time to time, been to they're gravesite and where they was killed! I remember mom and dad took us to watch that movie when it came out

Wow, it's amazing you got to stand right there where it all happen. Something just popped into my mind. May 23rd was my mom's birth date in 1916. Thank you for this amazing video.
Thanks for watching my video and thanks so much for the nice comment! Means a lot. Glad you enjoyed 😎✌️
The Barrows wanted to bury Bonnie next to Clyde, but Mrs. Parker said, No Clyde had her when they were on the run, he’s not having her next to him for eternity!
Exactly. Thanks for sharing that!
👩💻I understand that the producers looked all over for the same road and foliage. But they decided on the same spot because the undulating curve of the road could not be matched. Just watched the movie the other day, and it's still as good as the first time. Texas Rangers, men hunters, putting them on the spot. It's good to see the lawmen side of the story.
Thanks for sharing all of this info! I love this movie ✌️
You forgot to mention the tow truck breaking down in front of a school, and all the kids coming out to see the dead bodies of Bonnie and Clyde
Thanks for adding that info in! And thanks for checking out my channel 😎
My aunt and uncle lived in Arcadia and I have visited all of the locations in this film. My uncle's dad was a young boy when their bodies were put on display and remembered seeing them. He talked about residents tearing at their clothing and using knives to cut hair off for souvenirs. The original monument at ambush site has so much damage to it that it's really hard the inscriptions. The museum is really interesting to visit.
Thanks for sharing your stories and for watching!
✨Thank you for the fine coverage and straight story on this historic event ✨✨
Thanks so much for the great comment! I appreciate it 😎👏

It's a damn shame that people have to vandalize everything these days, they have no respect for anyone or anything! If I owned the old gas station I'd have to restore it instead of letting it rot to the ground! I've been studying history all my life and think it should be preserved no matter how good or bad it was as long as it's true.
It is a shame. But that’s just how people are sometimes. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Thanks for your little documentary did,,
I was wondering, as I was looking at you at the death location where the Rangers were hiding behind the bushes and do you think anybody had metal detect that area to see if they can find cartridges spent from shooting at Bonnie and Clyde?
I have no idea but I’m sure someone has in the past. Thanks for watching 😎
I love history! Thanks for showing it!
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks!
They were set up by a family friend. They had arranged to visit that day. The friend pretended to have a flat tire on their route. When they pulled over to hel, they were shot up
Correct! Thanks for watching and checking out my channel 😎✌️
And who is this family friend you speak of?
@Steve_from_318 ivy methvin. Hes the father of a man who rode with Bonnie and clyde
@@Just_Peachy8777 correct...but wouldn't exactly call them family... Ivy's son Henry was just someone who joined them after Clyde helped free some people from prison and he (Henry) just happened to be one of the lucky ones to be freed.
It was Methvin's father who was used as a decoy on the the side of the road, his truck jacked up and the front right tire removed to look like it had a flat. Apparently, he was even tied to a tree. Super illegal.
10:45 So, I've tried to figure out WHERE the cops were when they opened fire. They were across the street from the car, correct?
They had to shoot over the roadway, they weren't on the same side of the road as Clyde's car?
So the road use to be a lot smaller than it is now. So I was a little off when I made this video. I believe they were on the same side that the car went to after they were shot. The cops did shoot from in the woods though. They did not come out like Kevin Costner did in the movie. Besides that everything else pretty much matches up. Thanks for watching!
@@TravelswithNick Yes, I realize the road was narrower, but you're saying that after they opened fire, the car rolled ACROSS the road TO the side that they were shooting from?
I thought it just rolled forward a little.
Very good, really enjoyed the in depth of your vid…hats off to you and your wife…keep ‘em coming please….👍
Thanks so much!! It’s really appreciated. You will definitely like my 3 part Bonnie and Clyde series. Check out my Bonnie and Clyde playlist 😄
@@TravelswithNick looking forward to it
Those pumps weren't there in 33, maybe from the 60s. My parents are from the South. In my little kid days, I saw gas pumps from that era. Funny looking, but they worked. Gasoline back then was less than 25 cents a gallon.
Back then gas pumps were gravity fed
The movie Highwaymen was filmed at that location also. Great video
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching 😎✌️
The friend who set them up did not want to. The detectives were threatening to lock up his son. Even though Bonnie and Clyde gave him alot of $ he set them up to spare his own son who was involved with the 2 outlaws
Thank goodness that friend gave them up. Lord only knows how many more people those two maniacs would have robbed and murdered.
Ivy
If you could pin point the actual spot where Clyde stopped and most of the shooting took place, before the car rolled down the hill a bit after they were both killed, it might be possible, using a metal detector, to find a bullet or two, maybe get really lucky and find an empty shell where they were shooting from, one or two may have been missed.
Man now I wish I had a metal detector that day! Haha. Thanks for watching!
That's a fascinating thought. But I imagine that section of road has been paved and repaved many times and so much soil moved around. It would be a miracle to find a slug now, but who knows.
@@richardblayneamerican8149 they still finding bullets from the Civil War and revolutionary War all over the battle fields.
@@jakedode Yes, you're quite right. Of course a number of those battlefields (that aren't under a parking lot) are federally protected and have little changed since the 1860's.
@@jakedode There were many more rounds fired in those battles.
😎Dam I'm from Louisiana still live here didn know it was way back in 1934 Wow didn know I thought like 1959 are something. An how they knew to be there waitn you came to a Y in the road an turns right?
Thanks for checking out my video 😎✌️
That Y in the road is way before the ambush site
My father in laws uncle told me about going to view the bodies. He always complained that they were charging 50 cents to view them. Must have been a lot of money in those days. He lived south of Shreveport when it all went down. He was 34 at the time.
That’s crazy!! I guess that was a thing they did back then. Thanks for sharing that interesting story ✌️
Great show
" People are more interesting when they die." Don Henley.
Sad but true! Thanks for watching!
Grim life collective went to where they were embalmed they did everything with Bonnie and Clyde also
Yea I noticed that after I made the video 😆 thanks for watching!
I visited the site some years ago. It was cold drizzly rain. Some ferrel dogs living behind in the woods who would not let me near them. They made their choice. Killing police is not a healthy choice now and less so then. Frank Hammer is burried in Austin TX along side his son who died as a Marine in WW II, Iwo Jima. Sad.
Thanks for sharing all of this and for watching ✌️
Back in 1934,the road was a lot more narrow and and the high ground that the Texas Rangers were hiding was closser to the actual road... The ditch that this guy is standing in wasnt there at the time,the high ground is gone in order to widen the road and pave it... The car drifed futher and stoped beside the bank next to the road...
Thanks for your insight! And thanks for checking out my channel 😎✌️
I don't think it was the FBI
FBI? No.
@@SECRETARIATguy224
Correct... Not FBI,They were Texas Rangers... 👍😎
@@ellissmithjr6599 No. Hamer and Galt used to be, then Galt returned to the Rangers after. None of the others were ever Texas Rangers.
Nice! Subscribed! Greetings from Europe! 😊
Thanks so much! And welcome!! My wife and I love Europe 😎✌️
Hamer didn't come out of the blind and show himself like in the Highwaymen movie. Once Bonnie and Clyde stopped, the local Sheriff got nervous and jumped up and shot twice, killing Clyde, the other shooters then started to riddle the car with bullets.
Thanks for the info!
@@TravelswithNick I've had a recent obsession with the whole Bonnie and Clyde saga. I've watched and read everything I could about them, I find the small details of their story fascinating. As an example, I never knew Bonnie was so petite, she was under 5' tall, weighed around 80 pounds, and only had a size 3.5 shoe.
Wow, so you were actually there huh. So why don't you Enlighten Us on other details seeing how you're so knowledgeable and right there at the exact moment Everyone started Shooting
@@cliffray1683 Do some research my friend, it's all out there if you look for it. Of course there are varying accounts of the incident, but the preponderance seems to be as I noted.
@@jbrewster6175 if you knew who I was that was the most stupid comment that you could have made. But you don't but family histories a lot more correct than your stupidity
I wish they hadn't shot up the lawmen plaque mainly for Frank Hammer and Manny Gualt. It is very distasteful to disrespect 2 legendary Texas Rangers.
Same I wish they didn’t either. Thanks for watching!
That Car still ran after they killed them. It was in Dunstons Steakhouse, in Dallas, when I was a Kid. Interstate Batteries does a big cross country Antique Car Race every year. I was on it in 1993 but, the year, or two, before I did it, one Team ran The Bonny and Clyde Death Car in its original condition complete with all the Bloodstains and Bullet Holes 😳
Wow crazy. Thanks for sharing that info!
I live in the town where they robbed the bank and that bank was also in the original movie. It’s still on the corner of the town square. Our town has an annual Bonnie and Clyde reenactment of the bank robbery and get away.
Do you live in pilot point? If so I’m not too far from there
@@TravelswithNick yes
This is cool that it came onto my feed. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Nice! Thanks for watching and welcome!
Good video thank you 👍
Thanks for watching and checking out my channel! 😎✌️
Boots took to the location, and Pin pointed it to us.
His Daddy was a Dallas County Deputy Sheriff whose name appeared on the marker.
He owns the museum in town.
I, having retired law enforcement of 44 years, did have several connections to his daddy and boots alike.
I was told his has passed away.
I still have a few things Boots gave me.
I was just there about 2 weeks ago to the markers .
I've been there a few times.
Being from Dallas County and having worked in a place officers capacity, I know a ton of people dealing with B and C and the JFK Murder alike.
My grandfather owed a gas station just down the road from the Barrow family.
Clyde stopped by regularly for gas or auto repairs, and grandma did not like him and Bonnie either one.
Grandfather said I had been knowing his family and him for years.
He doesn't pose any threat to us.
We ain't a bank, cops, financial house. Of prison guards
We're like family. He pays cold, hard cash because he supports local businessmen.
How he comes about getting it is between him and God.
He said now that if we refused him service, he might take it badly, and who knows what might happen or not.

Wow thanks so much for sharing all this cool info and this story. I appreciate it and appreciate you watching 👏✌️
@@TravelswithNick your most welcome
Very interesting. You did a fantastic job.
Thanks so much! glad you enjoyed. I have a new 3 part Bonnie and Clyde series that came out a few videos back. I hope you check them out too 😎✌️
Im not an expert in all this but seen some movies. But what was the difference between Bonnie and Clyde vs Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann fugate? Both stories sound familiair.
Why are the markers that you say is the exact (SPOT) on one side of the road and you are on the other side and down some 150- 300 feet from the markers saying this is ware they stopped??
The markers are not at the exact spot. Watch the Highway Men movie I talk in the video. They filmed on site and re-enacted the whole thing
Clyde loved his 30-06 Browning Automatic Rifle our BAR...Which was also the weapon that took them both out...
Thanks for watching!
They murdered 13 people needlessly, prior to meeting their end. This does not include Clyde’s first murder which occurred while he was in prison.
Thank you for mentioning the victims of these two maniacs. They seem to get forgotten so that the two terroristic murderers can be glorified.
No... they were merely accused of murdering multiple victims. According to our highest law, they remain innocent until proven guilty.
Having said that, I too highly suspect they were guilty but... I have to stand with the written law.
@@bendover4154 …..This is irrelevant and inconsequential…and is a case in point under common law, also written law, which most of our law is based. The other is statutory law to which you wrongly refer. This was clearly the “exception to the rule” and this met the exception. Otherwise you give them a sword and a shield with “due process” and “innocent until proven guilty” which they refused to recognize. They were judged and sentenced by the long arm of the law which is often, but rarely necessary. Why? They could not be taken alive and refused to allow others to apprehend them so they could face the wheels of justice. There were eyewitnesses to most of their crimes which included murder, robbery, armed robbery, kidnapping, grand theft auto, vandalism, defrauding innkeepers, assault, escape, etc. etc. Accordingly forensics, at that time, named their weapons, tire tracks and yes fingerprints as exhibits of evidence. Their death was their judgment due to the way they lived-by the sword. It was of their making and their choosing. Do not forget Clyde WAS a convicted felon, already judged and under a sentence for which he escaped. Bonnie had aided and abetted him and his unlawful flight against justice which put her in another category altogether…harboring fugitives of justice etc. If you dispute the deaths of their victims, and any of their voluminous amount of crimes, that is wrong on so many levels. Hollywood promotes such garbage by glamorizing blood-thirsty, heartless animals. This is ignorant and vilely repugnant.
@@MarkCartret Irrelevant? Inconsequential?
The U.S. Constitution / Bill of Rights IS the supreme law of the land thus it supercedes "Common Law" and/or any other imaginary laws you care to present.
Mark Carteret:Look what happened to Clyde in prison though.Horrible.
Спасибо дружище за интересную экскурсию✌
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed!
My Sister and I were there in 2022. Museum was very interesting, a lot of stuff in there and the man that ran it was very knowledgeable. What I found interesting along that road that Bonnie and Clyde traveled ( their last) was they passed a church and then a graveyard just just minutes before they died 😮
Glad you got to see it too! I’m pretty sure I was there as well back in 2022 lol.
Awesome vdo !!! You deserve million subscribers man ❤👏🙌
I appreciate that a ton!! Thanks so much 😄👏✌️
They didn’t say anything to them . They just started shooting and killed Clyde instantly. Car started rolling and they just keep shooting them .
Absolutely right.
Clyde was dead after the first shot, they could have stopped firing and taken Bonnie alive, but instead just kept shooting till their guns were empty, Bonnie and Clyde were outlaws but the posse were no heroes.
@@ricmcmix5203You have no idea what you're talking about.
They kept shooting because they didn't want to take chances. They knew how dangerous those people were.
Thanks for excellent video is awesome I'm watching video in Canada thanks again excellent job 👍🤞🤞
So nice of you to say that! Thanks so much glad you enjoyed 😎✌️
Hey nick, I do some videos similar to yours, well I did- I can tell you prefer those people didn't show on those bikes, gives you more freedom to film etc lol..Also, my aunt lived in Wisner La. Great video man!
Right on! Yea just my luck the pulled up as soon as I hit record LOL. Thanks 😎✌️
Wow cool show!!!

There's a video that was reenacted a few days after the ambush. The actual road was not as wide as now.
Correct! In the movie I talk about they filmed there but they brought in a lot of fake trees to make the road look smaller and more grown in. Thx for watching 😎✌️
,Nick.Thank you for this.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed thanks for the nice comment 😎✌️

Gives me goose bumps just watching the video.
Thanks for watching!
Since the decoy truck was intended to make Clyde have to slow down, the road had to have been much tighter here. It must have been widened later. The shooters had to have been on a rise much closer to the road.
The road use to be a lot tighter yes. The trees were all grown in right to the edge of the road. It’s a lot wider today. Thanks!!
Pumps look 80’s
Could be! Thanks for watching 😎✌️
I would like to see someone open up a museum for Pretty boy Floyd in his birth place of Adiarsville Ga.
I’d visit that for sure. Thx for watching!
So what I read on a history site said that they went to that restaurant and had breakfast and took two sandwiches to go for lunch. Clyde got a BLT and Bonnie got a fried bologna and apparently they were sitting in the car. She took one bite of the sandwich and that’s when they got the hail of bullets Shot into the car and it was 167 bullets
In elementary school we were taken on a field trip to the Louisiana state police crime lab and were shown a picture of Clyde's body laid out with all the bullet wounds
Wow that’s crazy. Thanks for sharing and watching!
Elementary?
Must have been some tough kids.😂😂😂
