How differently that road looked way back then!(as I've seen it) I've been fascinated with them since I was just 10 yrs.old! Don't know why at all.Thx for your video.
Yeah same with me that's why I wanted to go visit . You should go if you haven't already . Thanks so much for watching.
I'm surprised at how little it's changed. Except for th4e road being paved, it's almost exactly the same.
Henry Methvin's father, Ivan, didn't actually make a deal. Hamer basically told him pull over, we're using your truck, tied or handcuffed him to a tree, and waited for Bonnie and Clyde. They needed a way to slow them down since Clyde was known to drive fast all the time and they knew they would recognize the Methvin's truck also.
Thanks for watching
I read that too in a book by a guy named Treherne. I think it was called "The Strange History of Bonnie and Clyde."
No sir a deal was made a week in advance
So excited to watch as you take us all on this historical tour.....
I'm glad you enjoy and watch the vids .
You add real feeling to this .you could imagine being there at the time ,loved it !!!
It was "old man" Ivy Methvin that cut the deal with the governor of Texas "Ma" Ferguson (through Frank Hamer) for his son Henry's exoneration from a murder charge in the lone star state. Part of the bargain was that Ivy stay with the posse at the ambush site as bait until the deal was sealed by the blood of Bonnie and Clyde. That prevented the pair being tipped off in advance by Henry who might've otherwise been told of the arrangement by his father or another family member.
There has to be a lot of bullets out there in that field from that day.. I wonder if anyone has ever searched for them
Yeah I have a feeling those have been picked up many years ago by people with metal detectors. Thanks for watching.
I was waiting to see the exact spot where they were shot!
Jackster Jackster that's speculation at best
There are two markers 7-8 miles from town.
@@kellyfrost1052 a mile is a long ways
There's a monument you can stop and read some of the story not far on up the road ,don't know why he didn't show it ,Thanks for sharing your videos✅
I enjoyed this video, found by accident!
Thanks so much :)
Unfortunately that church aftet you took the right on 154 is no longer there. Came down this past year. Just bought 15 acres out in Gibsland.
Thanks so much man very informative and fun stuff
Thanks for the post! Great footage!
great video !!!
Thanks for watching !!!
Great video.
I thought you were going to stop at the.exact.spot. Still a good video.
I do have a video where I stop at the exact spot it's right around this video . Thanks for watching.
My grandpa was in Texas when they were running outlaw. I wish I had Bonnie's recipe for red beans and rice.
You can get it off the internet and it looks pretty damn good
@@alifeworthfinding2838 Thanks
Beautiful America 💕
Bonnie & Clyde also hid out at Clyde’s Uncle ‘s house in Telico,Texas.
Thanks so much for your video! Been amazed by them since childhood. I know they did awful things, but also know WHY. I CANT get over the Cop Killing though! I cannot quite get over THAT!
Yeah I hear ya and I'm sure that's why they got riddled with so many bullets in the end .
A Life Worth Finding Exactly! I DESPISE cop killers! If they were that smart, they couldve got away without killing anybody. (tho I UNDERSTOOD why Clyde never wanted to go back to that horrible prison) But killing COPS? NOT an OPTION! SORRY. They KNEW what was comimg tho.What a HORRIBLE life!
A Life Worth Finding, back then they weren’t cops like they are now. Some were very cruel. Because of the Bonnie & Clyde, it brought the attention to prison reform.
Hi louisiana in the house
Pronounced Lose sianna
This happened 20 minutes from my house
I love that area !!!
Like your video
Thanks for watching:)
@@alifeworthfinding2838 welcome
Great video brother man!
Thanks my brotha !!!
Thay lived by the gun and died by the gun by
So true
At least Bonnie got to take two bites of her sandwich before she was blown apart
Wonder if anyone has ever located the Methvin place
The original curator of the Bonnie and Clyde Ambush museum, Boots Hinton, was the son of Ted Hinton, one of the ambush team members. His father knew Bonnie personally and kept in touch with the family of them both, long after their deaths. The museum is located in what was the original location of Ma Canfields cafe, where Clyde purchased their last meal. I toured the museum in 2009 and talked to Mr. Hinton about Bonnie and Clyde. I had just read "Go Down Together" by Jeff Guinn. Mr. Hinton did not like the book.
Author has bright. imagination
Was WONDERING tho- what IF there were a man & woman driving up that road & slowed down cuz they saw a disabled truck in the middle of the road & they WEREN'T BOMNIE & CLYDE?! Cant believe you have only 157 subs. I'm one & there are lots out there interested in this.Guess they arent looking hard enough! Thx for your vids!
I'm suprised I have that much lol 😂. Most people on here buy subs and video views so a lot of it is deceptive.
I've thought the same thing what if it hadn't been them. It was overkill and know the officers grandchildren are selling Bonnie and Clyde s stuff her ring should have been returned to her family. I know they were criminals but I think in this the law was criminal also.
Because deputies Alcorn and Hinton knew them by sight and identified them first.
One of the members of the posse knew Barrow and identified him.
Those shots happened so fast, that Bonnie and Clyde didn't know what hit them. It just put them out of their misery for their sake not the citizens.
Yeah I gotta agree with ya
Ive heard bonnie was screaming like carzy after clide got the first two shots wish killed him..it is even said that she tryde to surrender but her pleads were ignored and that explains all the bullet holes on her side of the front windshield..she was still alive only clide was dead..but they took her too regardless..sad so sad..😢😢
Like so many people, I've been fascinated with B&C for years. There have been so many criminals in American history, but I can't figure out why those two have such a following.
The whole place looks frozen in time like we had a town and buildings and Bonnie and Clyde rolled through and every thing stopped ,was it like a high water mark or something or maybe it was never nothing,I don't get it,did walmart do this to the town,thanks for the video
danny jewell great comment it was like frozen in time . Thanks for commenting
well that is a long road
The house they were hiding in was just a few miles from gibsland. I saw a picture of it
I love that area !!!
Bonnie's last meal was ham, tomato, mustard on white. How do we know ? It was on her lap after the ambush.
Damn that's crazy !!!
Read that it was boloney.
What when or where did they get sammiches? Monning?
Sammiches what's up my brother !!!
@@alifeworthfinding2838 good video... just messing with ya about the northern accent lol
Hamer was no longer a Texas Ranger at that time. He was retired from the Rangers and was chief of security for a Houston oil company. He was hired by the Bureau of Prisons (state of Texas) to track down Bonnie and Clyde. They had engineered a prison break a few months before in which a guard was killed. That's what brought the Bureau of Prisons, and then Hamer, into the picture.
How many bullets were shot ?
How many bullets were shot at them ?
Holy New York shit what an accent.
I know a woman ,older from the area,now living in Virginia, she said that Bonnie was prego,with child ,That is a rummor in the area they have a yearly festival flea market deal,their claim to fame
She was
That’s a rumour started by Bonnie herself.
She told one of Henry Methvin’s pregnant cousins that she was too. But it’s also said that she was incredibly drunk. Bonnie always loved kids and wanted her own.
Wonder what happened to all the money 💰 they stole?
Wonder if their families got any before they were killed
@@alifeworthfinding2838 ....I read that either Bonnie, Clyde or both of them had life insurance policies taken out on them by their respective families, who did get that money. Insurance companies no longer pay out if there was a crime being committed.
They didn’t have much money. They were small time.
So kids what did we learn today? Kid - “TO KILL POLICE AND ACT LIKE BONNIE AND CLYDE!” Teacher - “Have a good time getting ambushed.”
Sounds about right
The difference today is kids get away with murder everyday, When kids stopped getting their ass tore up it just made most of them smart-ass punks ,There may be a few good ones!!! LOL This world 🌎
Did they have telephones in 1934 ?
Did they cop cars have radios ?
Thx
Telephones yes, car radios also yes, but they were very rare at that time.
@@lewisaveryfiler7087 thx much.
Those sandwiches were rented
they could have took Bonnie and Clyde alive had no intention every one of them there were as much a cold-blooded killer as Bonnie or Clyde either one ever was just like so many times in life it was justified by the badge they stood behind
It does make you wonder, good point . Thanks for watching and commenting.
Death warrants had been signed by judge, not arrest warrants. They were cop killers and would shoot it out no matter what. Why take the risk.
Who likes jimmy johns?
The polices had no intension to apprehend bonnie and clyde but a cold blooded murder instead
Daniel Lomo the police were not playing
technically it was a warm bloodedshoot emup
They made their bed, now they sleep in it.
You got that right These so called law men became judge and jury. They deserve no praise or glory. They should have been put on trial. And yet they stole what few belongings they had. That should have been returned to Bonnie and Clydes families. Of course some years later they were sold
A lot of crinmals need the same treatment let the police do their job taking out lawless people 🤔
I thought your video was interesting the way you made it and talked.
Thanks for watching
weirdddddddddd!
