What an interesting story and research you have done Bart, well done covering a part of American History.
Thank you for watching
What about the Colt Molitor civialian BAR ?
Clyde never had one. The Colt Monitor was a very rare gun in the early 1930s.
I would say what i feel in my opinion but I don't want to be attacked for having my own opinion and my own thoughts because some people can get very cruel and hateful.
I understand completely. Thank you for watching
The warden didn’t mind convicts getting killed. Clyde was raped several times ,the governor disbanded the rangers cause she was to stupid so to keep her in good standing she got Hammer if your gonna do a fucking report get it right and quit hiding facts to cover up others fuck up
You are correct sir. It is a simple reading mistake. Accuracy in the dissemination of historical facts is vitally important. Without it, history is changed, and that does not serve us well. The history of the fascinating story of B & C must be accurate. Small errors, such as we are discussing, require to be pointed out. We owe that, in no small part at least, to Bonnie.
Lots of Dairy Queens in that part of the country. My mom would have stopped at all of them for a choc. dip cone.
I agree. I love Dairy Queen. Thank you for watching
Bonnie and Clyde’s Ford death car riddled with bullet holes is on display at Primm Valley Casino in Nevada.
Thank you for watching
Nice
Thank you for watching
Ted Hinton said “Clyde’s foot came off the clutch and the car went forward
Depends if the car was in gear or not. If the car was in gear and his foot came off of the clutch, the car would have stalled and the car would have been stuck in gear preventing it from rolling down hill. With intent or not Hinton got a few things wrong. Thank you for watching
And I thank you for having a great channel 😊
Hi Mr. Bart I don't think that was her gun no 😮😢😂😮
I tend to agree with you. I have my doubts. Thank you for watching
very good
Thank you for watching
My 2013 atlas shows Gibsland north of highway 20. Trying to find out where the ambush site was. What road, direction of travel. Details you need to find the right spot when living so far away.
Highway or road number or maybe a road name. I know the parish it was in but more details would be nice
The ambush site is about 7 miles south of Gibsland. Gibsland is south of Interstate 20. The ambush site is on Hwy 154.
@ Thank You Very Much.
@@gunnere-5936 thank you for watching
Im just glad that They were finally able to stop Bonnie and Clyde
Not loosing any sleep over these two
Actually that's when law enforcement murdered Bonnie and Clyde
I once had a copy of the letter Clyde Barrow had wrote to Henry Ford. In the letter to Mr. Ford, Clyde stated as long a Ford kept building them so good, he would keep stealing them.
Hats great. Thank you for watching
One big Yawn. I started/then skipped to 10 minutes in (where the relevant "ambush story" starts Propper ) and still only just made it to the end.
Thank you for watching
Killer Frank Hammer died too ! Tô hell
One thing about cemetery people are just dying to get in them 😂
That place has more good old boys then police
I lived in east Texas along the old highway that you speak of and a lot of the old towns are still there
Yes in some areas it’s like going back in time. Thank you for watching
i own and drive an 18 wheeler and many many years ago i was in a casino in Nevada back when oz a young man and they had the bullet riddled death car in the casino on display that was probably 35 years ago back when i 1st started driving - They said there were replicas but that particular one was the real McCoy
Yes you probably saw the real one. Thank you for watching
Why would their bodies be loaded into an ambulance at the funeral parlor?
They loaded their bodies into ambulances in Arcadia for transport back to Dallas. Thank you for watching
As the old saying goes, "if you want to dance you will have to pay the fiddler," so they danced and then they paid the fiddler.
Jolly good video and perspective Bart. They may have been murderous but a lot of folks Loved them and cheered them on. May they R.I.P. and so shall the victim's of there murder and robbery spree.
Thank you for your comment and for watching
Looking at that picture, Bonnie still had her right hand
Yep, They blew of0f a finger, bit most of her hand was intact.
Per the autopsy, her right hand was “nearly blown completely off”, not just a finger.
@gregrickard-x7r per the autopsy, “her right hand was blown nearly completely off” not just one or two fingers.
the hit of them came directly from President Roosevelt himself. they were there to kill them period! there is just as many shots on Clyde's door as Bonnie's windshield. Prentice Oakley used a Remington model 8 in 35 rem. caliber, i have several and they are a favorite of mine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thank you for watching
We have to keep in mind that the posse could only go on the information available to them at that time: newspaper accounts, known murders of peace officers and innocent civilians, photographs of the gang (including Bonnie) gleefully posing with firearms, magazine articles that featured blood-filled accounts of the pair's crimes (real or imagined), etc. Moreover, lawmen were acutely aware that Bonnie and Clyde had made up their minds to go out shooting; surrender was NOT an option. The ambush lasted mere seconds---the posse would not have had the time to assimilate that Clyde had been killed by Oakley's first bullets---likely fired prematurely due to nerves. As the car began rolling forward---downhill NOT uphill---it's a pretty safe bet that most of the officers believed that somehow, some way Clyde's legendary luck and driving skills had once again kicked in. Was it overkill? Sure it was. Did the posse have an axe to grind? No question about it. Was there an inordinate number of bullets focused on Bonnie's side of the car? Just take a look at the portion of the windshield directly in front of where she'd been sitting. But any viewpoint reaching beyond the known facts---at least for right now---can only be based on theory or supposition. Good, thoughtful video, Bart.
Yes I agree with your assessment too. Thank you for watching
Henry Methvin shot the two cops on Easter Sunday. Bonnie never actually killed anyone, she mostly waited in the car. She would fire at someone to save Clyde no doubt. Mr. Methvin (not Melvin) was not on the road talking to Bonnie and Clyde (he was tied to a tree against his will, behind the posse. Bonnie could have been eating her sandwich, or did she put her hand up at some point, Notice the windshield on her side of the car is all shot up. Why?
Interesting video, i dont think that Bonnie ever killed anyone personally but she made it pretty clear to everyone that she was staying with Clyde until the end, if you watch interviews with Boots Hinton after the first shot that killed Clyde his foot slipped off the clutch and since the car was in first gear it began to move making everyone think they were getting away again, i think thats when everyone opened up on them. They Barrow gang was responsible for 13 murders, 9 police officers and 4 citizens. Bonnie went through all that with Clyde, she was going to leave his side. Maybe the ambush could have been handled differently where Bonnie could have lived, but after 13 murders I imagine that law enforcement and FBI wanted them gone. The lawmen did what they had to do, I have been to the Stringtown Oklahoma shootout site, the man Clyde or his buddies killed there left behind a wife and 2 young kids and also their was the man who was shot on Christmas Eve in Temple Texas just for trying to keep his car from being stolen and this happened as his wife and 2 kids watched from the window.
Yes I agree. Thank you for watching
I can't help but wonder if Ted Hinton was one of the people that had fired so many shots at Bonnie while she was in the death car. I also can't help but wonder if he did it because he had long harbored bad feelings towards her, for her rejecting him.
Thats very possible. Thank you for watching
What about the seventh man with the posse. Hamer's hired photographer. Maybe some day the world will have a few more answers to this tragedy.
Only six men
I have a theory as to what happened during the Ambush. Next time I see you in person at the Bonnie and Clyde festival in Gibsland,LA I will tell you.
Ok good. Thank you for watching
The official story of what happened during the Ambush is not true. If you watch the re-Enactment video that Ted Hinton and Bob Alcorn made 3 days later. They were standing halfway up the hill. Not at the top of the hill. And there is no way a car can roll 50 yards or so uphill unless someone was giving it gas.
Yes true. I’ve never thought that re-enactment was totally correct.
@@bartl.largent9048 The Big question is, How did Bonnie get dirt and rocks in her new Perm Haircut that she got a week before the Ambush. If she never got out of the car. So much dirt and stuff that it took them over 2 hours to comb the stuff out.
Plus Ted Hinton said himself that he picked her up and put her back in the car. And that he looked in her eyes while doing it. You can’t put someone back in a car unless they got out.
This is the first time I’ve listened to someone else’s opinion, that mirrored my own. I always felt like Bonnie was purposefully villainized, in order to kill her, without being judged. I’ve always believed that they wanted to kill her, as revenge, and to make an example out of her. One thing I know, and you can find incidences throughout US history of this. If U.S. law, or U.S. government, wants to make someone, or a group of people, to look like the bad guys, like criminals, there is nobody in the world better at it. The U.S. government could’ve made Mother Theresa look like a serial killer , if she had gotten on their bad side.
Yes you are right. Both of our opinions are similar. Thank you for watching
The lammens involved in the ambush of Bonnie and Clyde, were not heroes, they were chicken liver yellow back cowards, they never wanted to try and take them alive, yes they were afraid of them both, but they were more afraid of Bonnie than they was Clyde, an ambush is no better than a back shooter.
Thank you for watching
Bullshit
Too much "drama", over looking certain known facts.
Excellent!! Many of my questions are answered and confirmed! As always Bart.. you are right on the money and no BS with you! ❤
Thanks Tom. I appreciate your support.
Put erm DOWN!
Tell us something we don’t already know ! They had had enough of them and wanted to take them out ! Sorry if I have put you out of work !
Seems he thinks " the Highway Men" was a documentary instead of a Hollywood movie.
I never believed Bonnie killed anyone. BUT they had already summarily planned to take her out along with Clyde, so they had to spin it like she was just as bad as Clyde to make her death by ambush palatable to the public.
Thank you for watching
Hi Mr. Bart mine too and it was dam wrong I don't believe she was a shooter no 😮😢😮
Thank you for watching
I read somewhere that when they approached Bonnie, after the shooting, she was leaning against the passenger door, still breathing. She was then pushed over against Clyde and ceased breathing. If that's true it makes me wonder if she was trying to get out of the car, maybe to surrender
It’s certainly possible. Thank you for watching
To all the people commenting that they should have been arrested and not killed on the spot, bless your hearts!
How do you arrest some one who has shot and killed their way out of many near captures. ~And so have proven time and again that they would rather die shooting than be taken alive. You would be risking and losing more lives, only to capture them and then give them the death penalty.
I agree that the Barrow gang got their just due.
They were ambushed and law enforcement was praised. If that were to happen today law enforcement would be sued and possible prison time.
Yes you are right. In the 1930s, things were very much different. Thank you for watching
Bet funeral cost back then were reasonable nowhere near today
I’m sure you’re right. Thank you for watching
