BONNIE AND CLYDE: Final Days, Ambush, and Burial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2024
- This episode, chronicles the last months of Bonnie and Clyde, culminating in their ambush in Louisiana. In this video I visited the actual locations such as the site of their hideout, the ambush location, where they spent their final night alive, the Gibsland Ambush Museum, the streets of Arcadia, Louisiana, their graves, the site of Clyde’s funeral, and more. What did Bonnie and Clyde, and their families do to prepare for their deaths? How did the final family visit go? What promises were made? Where did Bonnie get her last permanent? I apologize for the length of this. Due to fears of restrictions I chose not to break it into multiple episodes, which not only made it longer but made it take longer to make. I hope you enjoy it. I enjoyed making it. A note about the life insurance, discussions I found online between insurance professionals indicate companies DO pay families even if the person is killed during a crime. The criminal isn’t profiting and the family isn’t responsible for their loved one’s behavior. The effect seems to mostly affect the receiving of the accident benefit.

UA-cam has decided in their infinite wisdom that I should not be compensated for this film. It took me a month’s work including a fifteen hour drive round trip to Louisiana. I don’t know if I can adequately describe what it feels like to put so much time and work into something, have the public respond with so much praise, only to have UA-cam tell me I need to do all of that for free because it isn’t a “happy topic”. It makes me wonder why I even do this. Every time I make something people actually want to watch they restrict it or demonetize it. I don’t know what to do. I want to do this for a living, but I can’t if everything that is popular, where my money would come from because it actually has viewers will just get shut down. If you can find it in your heart to check me out on Patreon, or send me a super thanks on UA-cam I would greatly appreciate it. Clearly I will have to rely on fans or I can’t keep doing this. Obviously I’m really upset right now and my mood will probably rally, but right now I don’t feel welcome on UA-cam because I kid you not every video I have ever had go viral has been set so I’m not compensated. It is absolutely emotionally devastating. Please watch my other videos, share them with friends, if they get the views this one does it won’t hurt as much, but basically this was the only video giving me any income. Enough whining. Thank you to everyone who has subscribed or liked this video. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. Your positive feedback has meant the world to me, but now I’m wondering, do I even make the Young Brothers Massacre. It’s likely to have the same fate? My gosh I don’t know what to do.
I think you did a fantastic job. Keep up the good work.
I've always been intrigued by the gangsters of the 30's especially them. So after I began watching I realized it was lengthy & thought no way would I listen to all of it. Well Madame I'm here to say it is outstanding! I'm so sorry YT has treated you in such a manner. It is an interesting part of our history & folklore. I believe it is part of your journey & I personally hope you continue. Of course I liked & subscribed. ♥
@@garyt.4076 thank you so much! I haven’t given up and there’s more great stuff to come.
Excellent job!
As another comment said, you never have to apologize for a video being long, or "too long" if the content is decent, entertaining, and informative, and your video hit everyone of those points! It was a great subject, interesting, informative, and entertaining. I'll GLADLY watch a video that's 60 minutes, even 120 minutes if it's an interesting topic and it's done well. Thank you for caring about your "product", and for being willing to accept constructive criticism or feedback about your videos. This shows a level of respect that not all content creators have. This video got me to subscribe, because it made me curious about other things and subjects that you've shared. Thanks again and keep up the GREAT WORK!!
Couldn't have said it better myself
Great subject, great content. You did your homework. I'm now an avid watcher for your videos & can't wait to catch up on what you've already done. Thank you for taking the time & care to get it right.
Please don't apologize for this video being too long ! I could watch your presentations all day long ... As always, this is superb ... well researched, using only reliable sources ... and so well presented. As other commentators have posted, you have the 'right' voice for the subject matter. I'm always impressed that you visit the actual places and you have a knack for finding snippets of 'new' information. I see that you are attracting a lot more subscribers ... deservedly so. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into these video's and I'm very grateful.
Wow, thank you so much!
This is your story.....it is not correct. Tell it like it is .
And speak for all the families that lost their husband's, brothers, sons.
You make it sound like it was a cool thing. No, it was not.
Your comments on Hamer is false.
@@victoriahamer2049 which one? Are you a relative? Please correct me if I said something wrong.
@@victoriahamer2049 oh and victims are discussed in other videos which are in the playlist. Each event is covered separately. But I can assure you there is nothing deliberately false in this video, though I’m not going to say errors don’t happen.
Ms Morbid, there’s always going to be haters. You did a good job. Don’t pay attention to the haters.
My cousins name was Frank Hammer. He was about the same age as Bonnie and Clyde. He was from Hutto Texas. Anyway, because his name was Frank Hammer, he took grief for years. The Frank Hamer was the cop.
I’m just a casual history buff but I really appreciate the work and detail you put into the Bonnie and Clyde episode. I hope my donation encourages more episodes of what ever you deem worthwhile.
OMGthank you so much. I can’t tell you how much it means for a stranger to be so supportive of my work. You have my sincerest gratitude and I hope my future endeavors are worthy.
One of the better documentaries I've seen. Thank you, young lady
Great documentary! Grabbed me at the start and held me all the way through. Absolutely perfect research, narration... I can't recommend this one enough. Even if you're not into Bonnie and Clyde, you'll get great insights into the historical time, culture and society.
I really enjoyed this whole series. You are so interesting and your voice is perfect for this!!!Looking forward to more
I enjoyed this tremendously, especially the original source material. May I say as a 66 year old Scot who has met literary hundreds of my American cousins visiting the UK who say , looking at a boring castle, “ We have no history back home”😱
Oh we do, it’s just more recent!
@@MMorbid indeed, indeed.
You did a good job with this. My advise for when you have a million subscribers is don't lose that special human touch that you as the narrator contributed, it's what made it stand out. Well done!
Thank you so much for that great advice. I love what I do and hope my videos continue to convey that.
This is how i imagined a perfect documentary should be. Lined up photos on site, historic accounts, timeline. You really got a good mental snapshot of what took place, what was said while looking at the exact location. Im usually disappointed with other documentaries that use stock photos, filler and never really connect you to the story. Good job
Thanks!
Such a great job you did!!!! There is a documentary on UA-cam called Remembering Bonnie and Clyde. In the documentary there are a lot of eye witnesses that saw Bonnie and Clyde including a woman who saw Bonnie in the car at the cafe in Gibsland Louisiana.
Good riddance
😅
@@larry1824good riddance to whom?
This is better than reading a book
Books have alot more vs a movie.
Bonnie and Clyde were BETA! They blamed all their woes on everyone else instead of owning up to the fact that they were guilty of breaking the laws which thereby led them to their end and rightly so. BETA!
Damn honey, you really did your research!!! This is the best Bonnie and Clyde special post I have ever seen. Bravo! The powers in Texas trying to get them buried together are the last two living relatives. It went before a judge at least once that I know of, but was denied for some reason. Thank you for this. I've been studying these two kids since I was fourteen, I'm 69 years old, take care. Karen is my wife
My grandfather frequently talked about Bonnie. He knew her as she was often at their home when he was growing up.
Cool
And????🤔
@@doctordef324 What was she like
@@goodvibes4459 no, that's what I was asking... I'm the one that said AND??? Like tell us what she was like.. duhh
@@doctordef324 no need to be a baby about it
This is by far the best history of Bonnie and Clyde...
Thank you so much!
What about buck borrow and his wife. They were part of the gang. Buck was Clyde s b=other
I just stumbled upon this video, and though I knew at least something about Bonnie & Clyde's final days I found out as a result of viewing this video that I knew very little. Though I did not search for this video I found it absolutely fascinating and very professionally put together and narrated - frankly, I was absolutely mesmerized from beginning to end. The wealth of detail you have brought to their final days and the manner in which you have presented it is on par, in my opinion, with that of any distinguished historian or professor of American history teaching at university level. My compliments and gratitude for providing me with an amazing hour-long experience.
Wow, what a fabulous compliment. Thank you so much ☺️ I’m really glad you enjoyed it so much.
Excellent video & much more in-depth (& included better pictures) than others I have seen about Bonnie & Clyde.
What an outstanding piece of work you have done Madame !!!!! This by far is one of the best reports and research on Bonnie and Clyde that i have heard and I have been interested and research many since I was about 12 years old ( I’m 59 now).
Thanks so much!
WOW!!!What an amazing presentation!!! Thank you for all the work you did! Very well done!
Thank you so much!
People are so cruel and not respectful. Thank you for putting it together so well.
I can’t thank u enough Fr the best documentary of Bonnie n Clyde. So well put together so well spoken. I’m 77 n have heard a few stories but none as researched n intelligent. Refreshing. Thk u
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great video! Thank you. You researched it well and kept me watching every moment. I had read in one book that the morning of the ambush Bonnie got a 'hamburger sandwich' to go and ate a little of it. Supposedly it was in her hand as the ambush began. So many rumors in these famous cases. I never saw Clyde's sunglasses on his body in the car before. I loved the way you fit the photos in the video. And your voice is so good and a pleasure to listen to. Just a great job all the way around!
Thank you so much!
@@MMorbidthis was a great video for one two you have a voice that's amazing have you ever thought about being a voice over or narrate different things, just saying you should be in the Movie's you'd be great at it
I attended the Bonnie and Clyde Festival in 2023 and I have been to the Ambush site three times. It's more eerie when you know how close the trees were to the road and how close all the ambush participants were.
Nicely done. Even after viewing numerous articles and documentaries about B&C I learned a few new interesting things. Thanks for sharing your research.
Awesome, thank you!
Well i must say, this was of the most "engrossing & interesting" documentaries, I've watched in a while!! Brilliantly put together & presented 👌✌️
Wow, thank you!
Love all the photos you show. It’s really interesting that so many of the hideouts and getaway routes have changed so little in all this time.
It really is!
Just watched this video, one of the best detailed stories of Bonnie and Clyde that I’ve heard. Thank you!
Thanks!
Hi from the UK very interesting and very well done can’t get over how people behave around such events it’s the same everywhere.
Wonderfully done! Easy to stay tuned during the whole episode! Great storytelling! Thank you!👌👏👏👏👊
I am so glad, thanks for watching!
Thank You again for such great information and the presentation. Well Done and as always great use of the photos and documents.
As a Distant Cousin of Bonnie, thank you so much! You did a great job on this video. I will add it to her Bio Folder in our Family tree.
Excellent presentation, new and informative content. Your narration was very professional and entertaining.
Hi from England. Very interesting and well put together documentary. And very well narrated. You’ve earned another subscriber. Thank you. I must say also, that the ‘now’ and ‘then’ photographs are really interesting. It helps bring the narrative to life.
The best documentary I've ever seen of Bonnie and Clyde!!! 👊🏽 WELL DONE!
Wow, thank you!
You have so much information. Great research. Learned things i d never seen before. Very impressive. Great video. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for all the care you put into this video. Love the part with the pictures overlaid over today's view. I'm a subscriber.
I’m so glad you liked it. Welcome aboard!
I learned so much! Thank you for putting together such a thorough episode.
For the better part of 70 years I’ve been fascinated by the story of Bonnie and Clyde. Your presentation of events was very good. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done.Way better than the documentary's I've seen.
An excellent historical report. You have an great way of making history accurate and real.
Thank you very much!
This was very good!! You did a great job!! I like & want to see EVIDENCE, I love seeing the REAL PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING! And you gave me that instead of just reenacts. Keep up the good work! 👍🏾😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! The first shot killed Clyde instantly, and I believe Bonnie's right hand was shot away because she probably threw her hands up to cover her face from incoming bullets as a reaction and she was quickly dispatched as well. One thing is forsure, it was the end of the trail for Bonnie & Clyde.
Excellent video! 👍I loved the long format.
Thanks! Fascinating information and appreciate seeing the locations, so cool. Appreciate all the work you put into this, great job!
Thank you so much! You can’t know how much I appreciate it!
This was AWESOME!!! Just got a random feed w this video and am I ever impressed with your historical knowledge and presentation. I’m hooked. Loved the long video. This was dope. Thanks so
Much.
Wow, thanks! I’m glad you found my channel!
Thank you so much for the super thanks. I appreciate that so much!
@@MMorbid I don’t do PayPal so I send occasional super thanks
To extra good uploads. Thanks again. Blessings.
Really informative and researched, great video THX.
You have presented the best story of Bonnie and Clyde I have ever watched or read! You are a truly a top notch story presenter
Wow, thank you!
This is the most comprehensive video I ever saw on Bonnie and Clyde you did a great job young lady ! I subscribed because of this video, can't wait to see more of your videos. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.........
Welcome aboard!
Outstanding documentary. Really liked the photographic overlays.
I’m so glad!
I love that you are able to go to all the places and line up the photos. This has been the best videos on Bonnie and Clyde that i have seen. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Fantastic research and presentation. Thank you
I don't think I have heard so much amazing information on Bonnie and Clyde! So well done and your voice is pleasing to listen to.
The details are far beyond all others i have ever witnessed over this end !!! Killers of today need the same fate !!! 👍👍👍
I must say you did a fine job of history facts on this video. Thank you.
Wow. You made me feel I was part of the story. I got into it that deeply. I could watch this bio. all day. You've really done your homework!
Fantastic Documentary!!! Thank you!! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the most interesting and all inclusive documentaries I have seen anywhere. As most people my age, I saw the movie 40 years ago and knew of Bonnie and Clyde. But one always has to question the accuracy of films made to entertain an audience. The outline and detail you provided had me captivated throughout the entire presentation and you talk at a nice easy to follow pace. The actual locations, photos, sequence of events and information showing them as people were of great interest to anyone interested in historical events. The poem Bonnie wrote was quite moving. Shocking was what happened immediately after the shootings, quite unbelievable, but then it was a very different time. So many of the comments below match my own views so I wont repeat them, other than to say this was an excellent production and very encompassing. Really loved learning the true story. Looking forward to more. Rob - Perth - Australia
Thank you so much for this lovely comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
You are a awesome story teller. Good information. Thank you.
Thanks!
I’m so sorry you got demonized. That’s so wrong! I really enjoyed it, you are really talented.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words. I promise I won’t give up!
I thought I knew about all there was to know about Bonnie & Clyde but you had so much more information! Original pieces very personal to them and background items. The video held my interest from the start to the end. Excellent!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never too long well done. First time watching you and very entertained thank you. Subject background awesome. Lots of morbid topics out there keep it up 👍
Thank you!
Very well researched and very well presented, and you have a good voice for storytelling, too.
Her voice is just okay
Yep. Thought I'd Seen Everything on the Pair, but I Learned ALOT OF New Info from u. 💯🥰
Very excellent job; I heard details I never heard of before, thanks
Very well done documentary. Hats off to you.
Bonnie and Clyde, all food pages of history was the two most individuals I've been fascinated with
Well done... You did these two justice with all the detail you put into this video... I am glad it was long, it was not at all boring or redundant... I will thank you with a sub...
The best coverage I ever heard.
I cannot tell you how many times my grandpa used that saying “you gotta break in that engine”! My pa pa would have been the same age as Bonnie and Clyde. What a time to be alive!
My dad was 20 at that time. Our family were dirt poor farmers. It wouldn’t have been inconceivable that he might have ran with them. I mean, my dad was a decent hard working man, just that it was the same time frame.
Wonderful video. Just found your channel today. Thanks.
great story!
i missed the annual gibsland re-enactment....would like to visit the area next time however...
keep us posted as the next one gets closer? thanx!
Thank you for the great video. The saddest part about Bonnie and Clyde was the fact that after they had committed their first murder, they were up for the death sentence, no questions asked. Knowing this, they had no choice but to run until their luck ran out. There was one time when Clyde was speeding along and didn't know there was a bridge out. He went over the embankment and crashed the car. Bonnie had been burned very badly on her leg and although Clyde patched her up himself because it was too risky to see a doctor, her leg never healed correctly and she walked with a limp the rest of her short life. Their weapon of choice was the Browning automatic rifle because of it's range and penetrating power. Despite Bonnie being so frail, she was able to handle a BAR without a problem. Once a lawman was hiding behind a tree and she blew the tree away to splinters in the gun battle she was involved in. The police were scared out of their wits to encounter them, they had evaded capture so many other times. Because of this, they were not given the chance to surrender and they emptied their weapons into the car. The engine had still be running at the time and after Clyde had been hit, his foot slipped off the clutch and the car started driving off by itself. Thinking they were trying to escape they kept up the firing. Supposedly 167 bullets hit the car. I had no idea about the school thing as they were towed back into town with their bodies still in the car. Sad to see there are some morons who actually shot at the monument where the ambush took place. Thanks again.
How dare you make such a long video…. That’s the best story on this subject I’ve ever heard.
A lot of pictures and video I have never seen. Great job!!! Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it
Took this route for year’s coming back from sippi. use to stop and turn the truck off and just sit and listen awhile. Great video btw
Excellent storytelling. You have a new subscriber
Fantastic video, thank you for posting
Thanks for watching!
This is a good Documentary about Bonnie and Clyde ,i have read and watch a lot about them . I was Born in 1952 Edinburgh Scotland and my Mother told me about them when i was old enough , you did your research very well thank you and take care and keep up the good work . .Jimmy
Really enjoyed this. Can’t wait to checkout other content. Thank you very much.
First of all, thank you for sharing. Beautifully told!!! This is truly a sad story. I think why it remains such a huge topic is that it is not only a love story but it’s also a crime story & a murder one. They were outlaws & needed to pay for their crimes but in such a manner?! The law officers (being several) had enough guns & ammo to feed a small army should have tried to take them in! They never tried they just opened fire on them in over kill! Who knows wether Clyde & Bonnie would have surrendered but we will never know. They didn’t get that chance!
Clyde would not have surrendered, I’m certain of that. And even though it was her choice Bonnie didn’t deserve that and her suffering bothers me, clearly it bothered the officers too, at least some of them anyway. But I don’t think they could have done anything else.
@@MMorbid I do not believe they (being Clyde) would have surrendered either, but their not even trying is what bothers me… being officers of the law & all, granted it was so many years ago & things were much different then today but it still seems that there should have been some form of ethics they lived by especially as you mentioned, Bonnie being inside the car… I guess we will never know if it would have went differently.
@@MMorbid Ive read that Frank Hamer was Ordered by his superior " Don't bring them alive; first off, they Won't surrender peacefully, & since they've already killed other people in shootouts, some in cold blood....... No, they don't need to be brought in, they Need to Pay dearly for what they've done!". Well, if they had murdered one of My family, I'd have said, " Light them up"!!!!
@@steviesgirlbrenwag Form of ethics? Bonny & Clyde were cold blooded killers!
Bonnie and Clyde were ruthless unfeeling killers! Henry methvyn and Clyde killed the two texas highway motorcycle officers who stopped to help them and bonnie laughed!! One of the two officers was my grandma's cousin!
Very complete.. thank you for your work. ❤
One of the best documentaries about the Gangster era I have seen. You included films and photos I have never seen before. The funeral was bizarre. They seem to have regarded more like celebrities than killers.
That’s what is fascinating. Only the Great Depression would have created such an atmosphere. To the public they were taking on those who hurt them, the banks, and the police who confiscated their farms.
Very eloquently done, you narrated great.👍🏿💪🏾🤚🏿🙅🏾♂️ 7:46
Ive.seen most documentaries about Bonnie and Clyde but rhis is Brilliant!!! Love from Liverpool England ,max 😎
Brilliantly done, the details are exceptional. You’ve obviously done an awful lot of research. I’ve read a really good book on their lives, it showed how the lives of people in general was so poor because of the depression years. Bonnie was a beautiful girl and Clyde didn’t really stand much of a chance having been hassled by the police from a very young age.
Great job doing the documentary
I researched this over 50 years ago when a lot more research material was available than today. Just a tad inaccurate about the ambush but that's just me being pedantic. Otherwise, very well researched and presented in a professional manner without fabricating "facts" to fit a particular narrative. Well done! A+
Absolutely fascinating. Well researched and presented and absolutely not too long. loved it.
Very interesting video on Bonnie and Clyde. I have been to the Ambush Museum and site twice. One thing though the man at the museum told me that Clyde had a fried bologna sandwich and Bonnie had a Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich.
Yeah, and the diner next door serves the ambush special, a bacon, lettuce, tomato and fried bologna sandwich. I didn’t order it, 🤢 I’m just not sure if those sandwiches were breakfast or lunch for later.
@MMorbid I rewatched your video today. Just curious do you think that the wrecker broke down on purpose in front of the school? Supposedly the wreckers engine was overheating.
@@plymouthduster225 I was under that impression, yes, but will admit that is what locals were saying in Gibsland and the Bonnie and Clyde historians and enthusiasts I met at the festival.
Love all your Bonnie and Clyde vids. You should write a book with Rae Leens help before she is gone
This is so very awesome and amazing 👍👍. you are wonderful.thank you 😊😊😊😊..
Thank you so much 😀
Very interesting and informative...
Thank you for posting
You’re welcome!
Native Iowan here.
Known about Bonnie & Clyde & The Barrow Gang since I was a little kid in the late 70s.
I've seen the movies & a lot of documentaries.
Movie I liked best is The Highway Men (2019) because it depicted the law enforcement point of view rather than 2 people who were once good that become stone cold killers.
That said, I like your video and subscribed!
I grew up on morbid & macabre movies, docs, etc and still love em at almost 51! \m/
Just found you today. Loving your channel. Heard your interview with the cousin today. ❤
Thanks so much for making this documentary. Yes, it has a sad ending, but Bonnie and Clyde will always live in my heart. They stuck it to the corrupt bankers who were no more than they are today, thieves.
Clyde was locked up and given the worst punishment they could, Raped everyday, Back breaking work for pushing him, let others bet him as the guard’s as well, Fired from his jobs after finding one, Police robed Bonnie & Clyde after death, Allow others to get items from them as the body’s sitting in car, trying to cut off Clydes finger and another trying to cut off his ear, Who was the animal’s there. Just standing up and blasted B&C. There kids are still sailing B&C items today to live. Police Family sucks, These items needed returned to B& C family as respect. Anyone who will take from the dead are far worse than B&C
You did a great job .thank you watching from Canada and I liked Bonnie and Clyde!!!!!!!
you did a really good job of potraying they're story and what really happened to them. thanks for your effort!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful, informative video! Thank you for your time on this and sharing!
Amazing presentation! 😃
Thank you! 😃
Excellent documentary! Was not to long but very informative. I learned a lot about Bonnie and Clyde that I didn't know. Very good work.
Thanks! If you want to know more I have studied their life extensively!
I really enjoyed your presentation on this. So much so that I decided to subscribe after watching this. You did an outstanding job and you were thorough and the attention to details , time and process in it’s entirety that you put Forth in the way that you tell the story was well worth it thank you so much!
