The family lived comfortably off her father's job as a bricklayer, but when he died unexpectedly in 1914, Emma moved the family in with her mother in Cement City, Texas (now part of Dallas). Bonnie Parker was beautiful at 4-foot-11, 90 p...
Clyde Barrow was born March 24, 1909, in Telico, Texas, the sixth of eight children to Henry and Cummie Barrow. Clyde's parents were tenant farmers, often not making enough money to feed their children. When he was 12, his parents gave up tenant farming and moved to West Dallas, where his father opened a gas station. West Dallas was a rough neighbo...
In January 1930, Bonnie and Clyde met at a mutual friend's house. The attraction was instantaneous. A few weeks later, Clyde was sentenced to two years in prison for previous crimes. Bonnie was devastated. On March 11, 1930, Clyde escaped from jail using a gun Bonnie had smuggled in. A week later he was recaptured and sentenced to 14 years in the b...
Leaving prison during the Depression, with jobs as scarce as they were, made living in society difficult. Plus, Clyde had little experience holding a job. As soon as his foot healed, he was back to robbing. Bonnie went with him on one of these robberies. The plan was for the Barrow Gang—which included, at different times, Ray Hamilton, W.D. Jones, ...
For the next two years, Bonnie and Clyde robbed across Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana, and New Mexico. They stayed close to a state border because police then couldn't cross state boundaries to follow a criminal. Clyde changed cars frequently by stealing one and changed license plates even more frequently. He studied maps and had an uncanny k...
They had been on the run for a year when Clyde's brother Buck was released from prison in March 1933.

After two weeks of c...

At 11 p.m., a policeman banged on a cabin door. Blanche replied, "Just a minute. Let me get dressed," giving Clyde time to pick up his Browning Automati...
After several months of recuperating, Bonnie and Clyde were back out robbing. They had to be careful, realizing that locals might recognize them and turn them in, as had happened in Missouri and Iowa. To avoid scrutiny, they slept in their car at night and drove during the day. In November 1933, Jones was captured and told his story to the police, ...
Realizing how tied to family Bonnie and Clyde were, the police guessed that Bonnie, Clyde, and Henry were on their way to visit Iverson Methvin, Henry Methvin's father, in May 1934. When police learned that Henry Methvin had become separated from Bonnie and Clyde on the evening of May 19, they realized this was their chance to set up an ambush. Pol...
Although they created a romantic image—two young lovers running from the big, bad cops, Clyde's driving skills, Bonnie's poetry, and her beauty—it was tarnished by the truth. Though they often captured police who caught up to them and let them off unharmed hours and hundreds of miles later, they killed 13 people, some bystanders slain during bungle...
