VERY INTERESTED IN THIS 5 PART SERIES....GREAT JOB! THANKS...
The shooting itself was across the road parallel with the drivers door of your van. The front of your van points to where the car came to rest,on the opposite side, when Clydes foot had slipped of the clutch.
Yes, it came to rest in a shallow ditch on the north bound side (east side) of the road several yards south from where they were shot. (about 50 yards according to Ted Hinton and Bob Alcorn) The old death film shows the car in the ditch. War History dot com states that The first shot by Frank Hamer’s Remington Model 8 hit Clyde in the head just above the left ear. Bonnie was heard to scream and they were both hit with with barrage of about 50 shots each, much more than what the coroner said originally. One of the shooters estimated they fired about 150 shots. The coroner also said he had trouble embalming their bodies because they were so full of holes.
Cool you was on the road that bonnie and clyde traveled on.
Like your video
Yeah it was pretty exciting !!! Thanks for watching
@@alifeworthfinding2838 welcome
I believe it was a narrow dirt road, so much of the brush has been removed and the embankments graded. The brush that the law enforcement were hiding in and the embankment where the car came to a rest is gone.
Yeah the road is now paved but it was dirt and alot more narrow . Thanks for watching
The road at that time may have been close to 16 to 18 feet wide with no shoulders !
@@alifeworthfinding2838 Look at the width of the paved road TODAY....
NOW imagine one of those lanes and 1/2 of another.
One & 1/2 lanes......Thats how wide these dirt roads were back in the 1930s.
right. The road was so tight in 1934 that the old guy’s truck made other vehicles coming by to have to slow down.
I remember reading in several different articles that the car traveled about 50 yards when Clyde's foot came off the clutch, and at first the posse thought they were getting away just like they always had before.
The car is in Primm, Nevada at Whiskey Pete's.
Yeah I definitely gotta check that out when I'm tramping Nevada
The hideout was in bienville parish near new Lebanon. It was methvins place, the guy who gave b and c up to police
I have never been able to find Methvins old house location...was it NEAR the shooting location?
Good narration. It felt like I was there when it happened. What ever happened to the car is it still around
t nads I heard it was in a museum somewhere
It's in a casino in Vegas.
Whiskey Pete's in Reno Nevada.
@@Watcherrye Primm, Nevada. Not Reno.
A bad guy shoots someone when he could have taken other actions....He's a Murderer
A Law Officer shoots someone when he could have taken other actions...Hes a Hero...
How the hell does that work? How thin is that line between a Lawman & an Outlaw?
Yes the Barrow Gang had killed Law Officers and should PAY for it, but the way that Frank Hamer and the Posse handled this was nothing short of a Firing Squad.
If Clyde thought Bonnie would have been killed I believe with all those men with Deer Rifles, he would have thrown his hands up. I think Hamer and his boys were afraid of Clyde, especially with that B.A.R. he carried.
It was said that AFTER the first shot went THROUGH Clydes head, and the car rolled forward, Frank Hamer walked up behind the car and continued to shoot Bonnie, walking up on the back and right side of the car. (Look at the death car....the shots in the back window werent DONE while the Posse was in the bushes. The angle is all wrong......
THOSE shots were done as Hamer walked up and assassinated Bonnie, with a damn DEER rifle. Sad ...Oh yea! Big Texas Ranger shoots the life out of a 110 Ibs little woman with a pack of Camel cigarettes and a half eaten sandwich. REALLY??? .....
He aint no HERO in my eyes. Wrong___Is WRONG!
Bro great insightful comments I like how you brought up often there is a fine line between lawmen and outlaw. I never really thought of it like that .
I think it comes down to live by the gun expect to die by it . They knew they would be killed .
I totally agree with you, I read somewhere that bonnie was pregnant when she got killed?! Does anybody know if that's true or not?!
Because they were armed felons are murders
Do you still do videos?
Sure Bonnie and Clyde were no angels but on the other hand, what honor is there in killing a couple of youngsters in an ambush? cowardly if you ask me.
Yeah they were desperate on both sides
"No angles" they were murders and psychopaths
Just think, Bonnie and Clyde could have been innocent kids enjoying life, where others staged robberies wherever they visited, making them.look guilty, making good scapegoats. Others needing to rob that last bank in Arcadia, where kill the pesky kids, robbery ends, they look guilty but conspirators that actually did the ribbing go free. I've seen ugly people do similiar.
How sad, thanx for sharing.
Moviestar Memories thanks for watching and commenting!!!
You should read Conners report to get the bullet count for right for each body.
Yeah I found so many conflicting reports . I also have other videos on Bonnie & Clyde including the woods where the Posse hid .
What I read somewhere it over 100 bullets that went threw bonnie, Clyde & the car!
I wonder if there are some gun shells buried in the ground
I was thinking the exact thing
If you have a metal detector that would be cool to find some, you could video that
The road was more narrow back then, I wonder if the actual ambush was in the new road
Watching the ambush footage the road does not have a shoulder. So the actual location where the car stopped is probably at the edge of the lane at the line separating the road and shoulder
@@dbluehorsedeboe5567 Pretty close
No "tommy-guns" used my friend...liked the vid tho!
Thanks I loved exploring that area !!!
I own some of that land. It's for sale also?
It was a V8 not a flathead.
Dennis Faber a flathead is a V8 engine CMoooonnnn Man
It was a flathead V8 they did not have overhead valve engines back then
It was a "Flathead" V8.
Early V8s were flatheads from 1932 until 1953.
Roger Stone compared his arrest by FBI agents to the apprehension of Bonnie & Clyde.....how disingenuous!
I hope that you understand why they Had to be taken out.......
I well aware they made fools of " Law Enforcement " to many times
Yep, that's exactly how he happened except there were no tommy guns used.
Thanks I loved exploring that area !!!
True. They each had a Semi-automatc rifle, a pistol and a shotgun and they pretty much emptied all of them during their shooting at the car.
@Cardinal Red 1 BAR was used by Ted Hinton, Prentiss Oakley used a borrowed Remington, model 8, Frank Hamer also had a Remington, model 8
If any of you were the officers you would have done the exact same thing. Stop watching those silly movies.
Bonnie and Clyde were very dangerous and armed to the teeth. No way the police were going to announce their presence before the shooting started. That would have been foolish given their past history.
It was a ok place to visit but wouldn't want to live there. I do agree with you Jeff, but keep in mind, that was pretty much the way they wanted to go out (side by side and it was over in a instant...no lingering in a prison cell and dreading execution). It wasn't anything for the police to be proud of, for sure...but...it was, what it was....and a eventual end for the both.
I least you think the way I do. They were not killed They were murdered. Some of your facts are a little off. Good video Keep researching.
Thank you I love getting out there and chasing history
