  I've heard this story many times but your take on it is awesome! 🧡 My mom and dad were friends with an elderly couple in Dallas and Dink worked with Clyde at a clothes hanger factory. I live not to far from where Bonnie and Clyde died. There they have the Bonnie and Clyde trade days in Bienville Parish Louisiana.

  It is sickening that the murderers of so many live on in history and are revered by many while the victims are rarely mentioned.

  My mom told my siblings and me about what took place in Platte county after the shoot out. The shootout actually took place north of Kansas City in rural Platte City. I grew up north of there in St Joseph where the Pony Express began and Jesse James ended😊

  Great episode Jeff! I appreciate your hard work in putting these together. The hours spent in researching the subject of each episode shows. You cover a lot of great information. I sure have to agree that there is an element of anti-police lawlessness today combined with complacent district attorneys and politicians who seem to encourage this kind of behavior. History can repeat itself!!

  Atlanta, Georgia, has a reputation for tearing down buildings no matter the historical significance & changing street names, every time a new mayor is elected.  To hell with historical names & replacing with people who are still living.  Sad!  People cheered Bonnie & Clyde because they robbed banks & most people had lost their homes & land due to the Depression, with banks foreclosing on their property & the dust bowl days didn't help matters either.  I saw the movie at the Starlight Drive-In in Atlanta, Ga & it was located on Hwy 42, also known as Moreland Ave.  I'm not sure if it is still there, as it has been several years since I was in the area & the location is in a bad section.  Thanks for video & retelling history that most don't know anything about!

  Jeff thanks for a great historical story on Bonnie and Clyde. My late grandmother lived in southeast Kansas and remembers seeing them being chased by the local police in her County of Crawford when she was a little girl in their early thirties. Also little side note that when the car was brought back it was brought back to Dearborn I had read an article when I was living in Dearborn Michigan at the time where I grew up that gentleman started the car with no problem and he drove a backup to Dearborn Michigan and they have pictures of it. Also just a little side note, your one County over from where I'm at in Leavenworth County in Kansas. If you guys ever in the area stopover in Leavenworth Kansas and let me know and we can visit I'll show you some of the sights were Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill walked around. Also I'll show you where the Waddell and Evans building is still standing which started the Pony Express. Have a great day Jeff and thank you so much for sharing and hope you have a safe trip home.

  My dad & his siblings lived closeby the tavern. After the shooting, they went to check it out, seeing all the tire tracks.  Made quite an impression with those kids!

  That photo of Bonnie pointing that Browning A5 autoloader shotgun at Clyde is pretty wild! I’ve been to that area. Great video!

  Thanks once again Jeff and Sarah for another Sunday history lesson, and a very interesting one of young kids, which I didn't realize how young they were! It is sad how history is being plowed under and being replaced by more modern buildings and technology. Sad that this has to happen the way it does. Have a wonderful visit with your son and have a safe trip home.
