Very nicely presented Jerry. I like the speculation near the end about who might be sleeping near Bonnie's grave which adds a touch of poetry to the old legend of the doomed outlaw lovers. Long may they run.
@@JerrySkinner1943 Hello there Mr Jerry Skinner. Sir I cannot even begin to express just how truly, deeply, sincerely much I love and enjoy watching all of these fantastic, wonderful, beautifully done documentaries that you put out. The attention, hard work, thoroughness in details, and most of all listening to your voice as you narrarate them. Mr Skinner, thanks a million for sharing these historical journeys, take good care and may the Lord God Almighty Bless You and Keep You and Yours.
Met a man in Texas who had a picture on his wall. His mommy and daddy with Bonnie and Clyde. I was speechless to say the least. Such a amazing piece of history and I was floored to be seeing in person.
Jerry, you have a very peaceful voice. You have a clear voice in speech. Thank you for your investigation on facts and your clear description on each postings. Blessings! 👏🏼🙏🏼🇱🇷
Mt Skinner, once again, you have done a commendable job of keeping history alive with your videos!!!! I had previously viewed your videos about Walking Tall Sheriff, Buford Pusser and the outlaws he dealt with.Thank You for what you do!
Hi Jerry, The tombstones of Clyde and Buck are not the originals. Their stones were very old and broken and closer to the back. The cemetery used to be in horrible shape and was basically in ruins. I lived in the area 20 years and visited their graves many times. I also met Clyde's sister Marie. She was a great person. Lived her senior years trying to raise money to have Bonnie and Clyde buried side by side.
I met Marie Scoma, Clyde's sister, at the Bonnie and Clyde Trade Days near the ambush site, when she was selling swatches of the pants he was wearing when he was killed. She had the pants cut into over 800 one-inch squares, which she was selling for $200.00 each. You can still find them on the internet for sale at about the same price. Mine is framed with photos of Clyde, both alive and in the morgue. B&C had a strong presence in Shreveport, my home town. The ambush site is about 40 miles from there. Both of my grandparents had encounters, before they met and married each other. My grandmother, who was born in 1918, was in a beauty shop on Hwy 80 in Bossier City, (across the Red River from Shreveport) when Bonnie came in for a 'do'. This was in 1934. (I also have a picture of this grandmother with Carlos Marcello, who she briefly dated in Dallas before he was gangster) My grandfather's encounter with B&C was in the morgue, when he went over from Shreveport, after the news of the shooting spread across the state. He said it was super-crowded, but he was able to get in to see them or saw them outside. Not sure which. There are a lot of B&C stories in this area. I know a gal whose great aunt claims to have one of Bonnie's shoes, collected from the ambush site, which she still lives close to. My friend said it 'fell' into the road, but I told my friend that her aunt more than likely ripped it off of the body, if she has it. People were even trying to cut off Clyde's fingers as souvenirs. I have a friend who grew up next door to a house on Unadilla St. in Shreveport, from which Clyde stole a car before he met Bonnie. My own stories are that I sat in the driver's seat of the death car at the Louisiana State Fair when I was about 9 or 10. (c. 1971 or 72) I really didn't know the story then, so it was just some old shot-up car to me) The exhibit was pretty empty at the time, so we got to look under the hood and in the trunk too. Also, for a couple of years in the early 80's, I was a runner at a downtown law firm, while I was in college. I ate almost daily at a cafe behind the law firm. It was called Theo's at the time. I sat there for 30 minutes every day. It wasnt until 10 years later, I found out it had formerly been The Majestic Cafe, of Bonnie and Clyde fame. By then, it had been closed down and locked up.
I have loved the story of Bonnie and Clyde for most of my life ! Read every book I could about them. I don't believe they were as evil as most think they were. I always wanted to visit their graves to pay respect and still might someday. Thanks for taking me there, Mr Skinner !
Great Video, my Dad is a Mort./Funeral Director and worked for a long time at the crematorium at Hughes Funeral Home, I used to visit Bonnies marker all the time, and at the time they had bushes by her marker and there was in fact a homeless person that was living in the bushes, I never saw them, just where the bushes were sort of dug out and a few personal items.
kragseven As if these flyspecks DESERVED respect. "this old world is made brighter by the lives of folks like you." My God! Tell this to the families of the people that these punks MURDERED. My hat's off to you, Ranger Hamer and your men. You did fine work that day. Via con Dios.
TheOneTrueKaliban They wasn't walking on Clyde's stone. There's a clear shot of a kid standing on top of someone's stone across the way. And rather then say anything to him whoever's filming this just keeps right on concentrating on Clyde's stone.
I did read the post. This is a comment. And it's a comment about ppl walking/standing on someone's headstone. And so far all replying to this comment are saying show some respect. Then you come along & reply to kragseven basically that Clyde don't deserve respect. To which I reply it's not Clyde's grave they're standing on. It's a total strangers who does deserve respect. Reading's one of the things I do best. I believe you need to read - the help files to learn how to start your own comment rather then reply to someone else's w/ stuff that don't apply to what they're discussing - which is called going off topic.
Thank you so much for all of your videos Jerry. I love history and the stories of the lives of people who have long been gone but not forgotten. I rarely meet people who love to talk about these things. But you do and it's so nice to listen! Your southern accent is wonderful. I love the soothing and homespun sound of your voice. Thank you again so very much! I will look up all your videos!
thank you for this wonderful share, I find it very touching and well done with much empathy … Love and respect to you for your kind words at the end … 8)
I took my kid to a TX cemetery to practice driving around the little roads. It seemed like someone was laying on top of a grave. And every time we came around this corner she was still there - not moving. About the time I was going to call 911 someone else already did. And once emergency personnel showed up we avoided the area so we wouldn't be in their way. Now I'll never know if she simply fainted or something or actually dropped dead.
fastpaced33 I wouldn't have poked him. I would've tried speaking to him but I wouldn't have poked him. If he wouldn't have responded I would've called the police. Alive or dead - poking him w/ a stick would've been disrespectful.
fastpaced33 Bad idea. If somebody poked me with a stick I would grab it from them and whack him/her against the head with it one time and then call it even.
Hi Jerry, another excellent Drivomentary, just watched both your Billy the kids again and happened on this video.Thanx for letting us join in your experience with you. Many thnx
Thanks for the video! I visited Bonnie Parker gravesite last November. I was going to visit the Barrow's gravesite but ran out of daylight. This year I hope to get back. Seeing your video will help me to locate the grave site.
Loved the video Jerry, I along with many others I am sure have always been fascinated with the life and times of Bonnie and Clyde and this was very interesting. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing, Mr. Skinner. I have been fascinated by the story of Bonnie and Clyde ever since hearing the, "Legend of Bonnie and Clyde" sung by Glen Campbell. I was a small child and intrigued by the thought of a woman being a gangster. I grew up in Arizona and ironically now live in Texas about 30 miles from Huntsville. I am currently reading the book, "Go Down Together" by Jeff Guinn. It is considered one of the most, historically accurate books ever written about Bonnie and Clyde. I enjoy the Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty movie. However, typical to many Hollywood pieces, the film is more fictional than factual. But, it's great entertainment! The recent A&E miniseries was also far from being the truth. Among many distortions was the fabrication that Clyde present at Bonnie's wedding. They didn't meet until four years later.
Phambo101, Thank you for reminding us of where our true sympathys should be. It shows that our world is turned upside down and i am just as guilty as any. Thanks, Jerry
My grandmother told me that when Bonnie & Clyde robbed the bank of Ladonia Texas the first time no one could find the town. So Bonnie & Clyde did it again. They put the town on the map. She also told me how she kept her money hidden at home. SHe had many stories to tell & I loved them all.
Thank you again Jerry. Myself and all those who posted before me, and any others who post after me, have no right to call Bonnie and Clyde any names at all. We neither of us, did not know them, did not know of their circumstances or what serious attitudes or punishment, or bad treatment from others in their younger lives, made them turn out to be who they were. Just look at the stories about Bonnie, she was a killer ? she was a sexual deviant ? she was the ringleader ? Now just a minute, a 90lb cripple doesnt seem to promote any sexual fantasies to me. Then again was she a cripple really? What did she weigh? Does any of it make any difference. They were born, they suffered, they caused others to suffer, and people of the same mentality murdered them in cold blood too. We are all pretty much made up of the same sort of stuff, it is being human eh ? Did anyone go and shoot down those murderers? I guess not they, after all, hid behind the badge of the law..... the shitless wonders. RIP ~ Bonnie and Clyde.
Cemeteries are the safest place to be, everyone is dead. I grew up across from a huge one at my Grammas house that you could get lost in, many times we would nap in the field there and lay out at night under the stars. Not sure whats up with this dude though lol Great video, although, I wouldn't be stepping on the headstones, that's not cool. Love all the videos!
Jerry, I love your work. Your narration is great, your facts are good. You are very talented. Thanks for the interesting video's. Please keep up the great work.
I enjoyed your video very much. I thought you presented your facts with great care and concern. If you are not a pro you need to be. I seldom come across video on here that keeps my attention. Look forward to more ( I am already a fan.) LOL Thank you for this video today.
Excellent video/documentary about America's infamous couple Mr. Skinner! You did a wonderful job! Thanks so much for taking the time to make it and share it. I've seen many documentaries but yours is at the top of my list. Very interesting, soothing and easy to understand. Love the wonderful photography/film work you do as well. Keep up the good work! Again, Thank you! God Bless you and yours.
Excellent Video and very informative! I visited Bonnie's grave for the first time yesterday and a hispanic man was sleeping (more likely passed out) in the hedge behind the headstone to the left of her grave. I didn't notice him for the first 5 minutes I was there, scared the heck out of me when I finally saw him.
Jerry, that had to be one of the most bizarre things I've seen, and I would bet that you filmed, a man just lying in the cemetery next to Bonnie Parker's grave. Very weird. Besides that oddity, great video.
Thank you, I recently viewed the story of Bonnie and Clyde and learned how they started out in life, became corrupt and then finally executed. Thank you for this tour of their graves in Dallas and for the nice commentary, as I did not know they were only 23 and 25! Wow so young, but apparently his imprisonment and the abuse that he encountered back in those days of detention, caused him to be so persevering in not wanting to return to that environment, but too bad he did not change his ways. Again, thank you for this video.
My dad told me he went to see Bonnie's body at the funeral home. Blanche, Buck's wife, is buried in the same cemetery as my paternal grandparents. One of the posse who ambushed them is also buried there
Can't condone what they did-but god those depression days must have been tough to live through. A couple of wild kids who wanted something extra out of a hard life. Well they certainly paid for their brief wild fling. Can't help but find the last picture of them together a bit moving. Amazing that so many turned up at their funerals. Great video though. Just watched your Susan Hayward video.Equally fascinating.
I figured Cumie was a southern nickname? I have heard some good ones and being from the south of course have my own special name I would never share! But once I thought about the time period Cumie was born, her name kinda makes sense if you live around those types of names? My mom, Frankie? Don't ask! Even being Barrow the video is very important and we do appreciate you bringing the history to us! I will continue to watch they are presented well!
I've seen several clips and read so much about them. Living here in Dallas, the locals always say that their parents told them about it the tale. One clip from "Remembering Bonnie and Clyde" interviewed the two black witnesses. both witnesses said 2 shots.........i saw another video and the son of one of the cops shooting said that his dad had said that he opened the door hoping Bonnie was still alive and Bonnie fell out and she was still breathing but by the time he put her back in the car she was dead...... did they then shoot up the car? why shoot up the car later? why shoot all those rounds if the first shot killed Clyde by shooting him in the temple? i also read that the first shot went through Clyde's head and hit Bonnie and she screamed like a cougar....so why was all the other shots necessary? I don't think Bonnie ever did anything and she was killed by accident. they probably hated Clyde because everyone in the neighborhood said he was different. And how were they a couple and she still had her wedding ring on? i think there's more to this story. And Bonnie's sister Jean says Bonnie would put Clyde in drag so that he could go into town to his dad's gas station to throw a coke bottle with a message on where and when to meet up. Bonnie wanted to be famous but Clyde wanted to expose that prison for the hell it was after he was raped and beaten for two years straight. Imagine being 5'3" and a pretty boy in jail. His sister Marie said when he got out of prison, he had changed and was just mean and didn't care anymore....ya think?
Back in the early 1930's my great grandpa, who's name was Sam, owned a farm in a small town just about 80 miles outside of then "Cement City" near Dallas, Texas. He was a farmer by day and a gambler by night. He ran a gambling house out in his barn on the weekends and some week nights depending on who showed up. The farm was in a very rural area -- down a lot of oil-topped roads and some dirt and clay roads. It was hard to find. There was a story told by many older relatives after my grandpa's death in 1965, back in the earl 1930's -- one late summer evening a car drove up in front of my great grandpa and my great grandmother Emma's farm house. A young couple and two other men got out and followed the path that lead up to the barn -- where there were already people caught up in a dice game. As in the movies, when they walked in -- things pretty much stopped. And, one of the men walked up to my great grandpa and asked him if he could get in on the dice game. My grandfather was about 42 years old at the time and was a fairly large man, standing at 6 feet 3" and weighing well over 200 lbs. He had a reputation for not being afraid of anyone and was the only man in that area who ran a gambling house out in his barn. When the man had gone up to my great grandpa, it wasn't but a second or two after that my grandfather nodded his head in approval. And, the man got in on the dice game. The evening wore on and before long, daylight was filtering in through the cracks in the barn. The young couple and the two men had already taken their leave and had driven away in the early hours of the morning while it was still dark. It was later said that the young couple was none other than Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. The other two men remained unknown. My great grandpa never told anyone of their visit -- and he forbid any others who were there that night to ever speak of it. And, it wasn't until after his death that anyone did speak of it. And, besides, no one wanted the only gambling and drinking spot to be shut down. Sam took that secret to his grave -- he was 69 years old when he passed away due to heart failure. My great grandmother, Emma, she lived to be 101 years old! The ruins of their old farm house can still be seen from the highway that now runs past it, as well as, my great grandfathers' old barn, which has fallen in on itself! I think -- I would have been a Bonnie Parker, if I had lived back in those days. I sort of take after my great grandpa Sam.
Bonnie is a relative on my mothers side, having seen family writings and talking with relatives it was easy to see that she was a sadistic person even as a young child
Some guy wanders into a cemetery and passes out cold, visitors come by and aren't even curious if the guy is dead or alive? You pass out in a cemetery in Texas and you don't know what's lurking in the bushes.
So, a person is on the ground, possibly passed out, possibly dead for that matter. And you just take some pictures. Damn. That is pretty cold. Go check on a person passed out in a graveyard, or at least call the authorities. Where was your good sense?
Very nicely presented Jerry. I like the speculation near the end about who might be sleeping near Bonnie's grave which adds a touch of poetry to the old legend of the doomed outlaw lovers. Long may they run.
Thank you Scott. Jerry
I learned more from this 13 minute video than I did in the whole movie about them.. GREAT JOB!!!!
Thank You!
Thanks Jerry for the work you do making these videos so we can be there too!

Enjoyed the video! What's up with stepping on the headstones??? Graveyard etiquette says you don't walk or step on someone's headstone!

Excellent video/documentary about America's infamous couple Mr. Skinner! You did a wonderful job! Thanks so much for taking the time to make it and share it.

Very well done sir, an excellent show!
Thank you!
Excellent Video and very informative! I visited Bonnie's grave for the first time yesterday and a hispanic man was sleeping (more likely passed out) in the hedge behind the headstone to the left of her grave. I didn't notice him for the first 5 minutes I was there, scared the heck out of me when I finally saw him.

Very interesting. Thank you.
Great video and narration. It’s like Sgt Friday said on Dragnet. “Just the facts ma’am just the facts”. Wish we knew who that was.
You have such a soothing voice.
I enjoyed this very much partner
RIP🌹 Clyde Barrow
RIP🌹 Bonnie Parker
Jerry, that had to be one of the most bizarre things I've seen, and I would bet that you filmed, a man just lying in the cemetery next to Bonnie Parker's grave. Very weird. Besides that oddity, great video.
I wonder if that guy "sleeping" near Bonnie's grave ever moved...or if they just dug a hole and pushed him in.
Thank you, I recently viewed the story of Bonnie and Clyde and learned how they started out in life, became corrupt and then finally executed. Thank you for this tour of their graves in Dallas and for the nice commentary, as I did not know they were only 23 and 25! Wow so young, but apparently his imprisonment and the abuse that he encountered back in those days of detention, caused him to be so persevering in not wanting to return to that environment, but too bad he did not change his ways. Again, thank you for this video.
Thank you Janet for watching and the suggestion. Jerry
i think she was 22
My dad told me he went to see Bonnie's body at the funeral home. Blanche, Buck's wife, is buried in the same cemetery as my paternal grandparents. One of the posse who ambushed them is also buried there
Can't condone what they did-but god those depression days must have been tough to live through.
A couple of wild kids who wanted something extra out of a hard life. Well they certainly paid for their brief wild fling.
Can't help but find the last picture of them together a bit moving. Amazing that so many turned up at their funerals.
Great video though. Just watched your Susan Hayward video.Equally fascinating.
Thank you sir. I really enjoyed this. Except for the dead man. searched google and bam articles pop up.
Another well done story by Jerry
Thanks Jerry,your so sweet!
Thanks again Beborah. Jerry
HA!!! Even in death, Emma could not keep Clyde's spirit from being with her daughter....
naruto68744 no it was just some weirdo sleeping on her grave .
So young what a violent short life never even had a chance to have children I guess they’re legend will live on forever
It’s amazing that this many people would turn up to a bunch of killers funerals. These people killed a bunch of innocent people. Unbelievable.
I figured Cumie was a southern nickname? I have heard some good ones and being from the south of course have my own special name I would never share! But once I thought about the time period Cumie was born, her name kinda makes sense if you live around those types of names? My mom, Frankie? Don't ask! Even being Barrow the video is very important and we do appreciate you bringing the history to us! I will continue to watch they are presented well!
Someone get some dirt from Bonnie's grave and spread it over Clyde's
They still alive they will never leave world they gonna be talk about for ever
thank you.
My grandfather was a bank robber. Strange that all his brothers and sisters were police officers . He died peacefully , surrounded by his family .
The man sleeping could be Clyde, if Clyde shops at Target by the looks of that man's bag.
I've seen several clips and read so much about them. Living here in Dallas, the locals always say that their parents told them about it the tale. One clip from "Remembering Bonnie and Clyde" interviewed the two black witnesses. both witnesses said 2 shots.........i saw another video and the son of one of the cops shooting said that his dad had said that he opened the door hoping Bonnie was still alive and Bonnie fell out and she was still breathing but by the time he put her back in the car she was dead...... did they then shoot up the car? why shoot up the car later? why shoot all those rounds if the first shot killed Clyde by shooting him in the temple? i also read that the first shot went through Clyde's head and hit Bonnie and she screamed like a cougar....so why was all the other shots necessary? I don't think Bonnie ever did anything and she was killed by accident. they probably hated Clyde because everyone in the neighborhood said he was different. And how were they a couple and she still had her wedding ring on? i think there's more to this story. And Bonnie's sister Jean says Bonnie would put Clyde in drag so that he could go into town to his dad's gas station to throw a coke bottle with a message on where and when to meet up. Bonnie wanted to be famous but Clyde wanted to expose that prison for the hell it was after he was raped and beaten for two years straight. Imagine being 5'3" and a pretty boy in jail. His sister Marie said when he got out of prison, he had changed and was just mean and didn't care anymore....ya think?
Clyde stopped and got a Bolony Samwich for him and a BLT for Bonnie just before getting wasted. She still had her samwich when she got gunned down.
Good little spoken word partner
Back in the early 1930's my great grandpa, who's name was Sam, owned a farm in a small town just about 80 miles outside of then "Cement City" near Dallas, Texas.
He was a farmer by day and a gambler by night. He ran a gambling house out in his barn on the weekends and some week nights depending on who showed up. The farm was in a very rural area -- down a lot of oil-topped roads and some dirt and clay roads. It was hard to find.
There was a story told by many older relatives after my grandpa's death in 1965, back in the earl 1930's -- one late summer evening a car drove up in front of my great grandpa and my great grandmother Emma's farm house. A young couple and two other men got out and followed the path that lead up to the barn -- where there were already people caught up in a dice game.
As in the movies, when they walked in -- things pretty much stopped. And, one of the men walked up to my great grandpa and asked him if he could get in on the dice game. My grandfather was about 42 years old at the time and was a fairly large man, standing at 6 feet 3" and weighing well over 200 lbs. He had a reputation for not being afraid of anyone and was the only man in that area who ran a gambling house out in his barn.
When the man had gone up to my great grandpa, it wasn't but a second or two after that my grandfather nodded his head in approval. And, the man got in on the dice game. The evening wore on and before long, daylight was filtering in through the cracks in the barn. The young couple and the two men had already taken their leave and had driven away in the early hours of the morning while it was still dark.
It was later said that the young couple was none other than Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. The other two men remained unknown. My great grandpa never told anyone of their visit -- and he forbid any others who were there that night to ever speak of it. And, it wasn't until after his death that anyone did speak of it. And, besides, no one wanted the only gambling and drinking spot to be shut down.
Sam took that secret to his grave -- he was 69 years old when he passed away due to heart failure. My great grandmother, Emma, she lived to be 101 years old! The ruins of their old farm house can still be seen from the highway that now runs past it, as well as, my great grandfathers' old barn, which has fallen in on itself!
I think -- I would have been a Bonnie Parker, if I had lived back in those days. I sort of take after my great grandpa Sam.
thank you
Bonnie is a relative on my mothers side, having seen family writings and talking with relatives it was easy to see that she was a sadistic person even as a young child
Did anyone check to be sure the guy on the ground wasn't dead? You would think he would have heard something or someone?
Some guy wanders into a cemetery and passes out cold, visitors come by and aren't even curious if the guy is dead or alive? You pass out in a cemetery in Texas and you don't know what's lurking in the bushes.
i went two vegas a couple of weeks ago, and stop at whiskey Pete's the car look in good shape beside the bullet holes.
So, a person is on the ground, possibly passed out, possibly dead for that matter. And you just take some pictures. Damn. That is pretty cold. Go check on a person passed out in a graveyard, or at least call the authorities. Where was your good sense?
Homeless people sleep wherever, whenever, they can. Get over yourself.
