Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde

Product Information

You’ve read the story of Jesse James-Of how he lived and died; If you’re still in need of something to read, here’s the story of Bonnie and Clyde...Some day they’ll go down together; And they’ll bury them side by side. To a few it’ll be grief-To the law a relief- But its death for Bonnie and Clyde.” I remember seeing a double feature, in the early 70s, that included Bonnie and Clyde and Bullitt. I liked Bullitt, especially the famous car chase but I fell hard for Bonnie and Clyde. Truly one of the great American films. I had always wanted to read more about them, but never did, outside of an occasional true crime anthology. Once I heard about Go Down Together, I knew I had to read it and it turned out to be an excellent biography. Hinton enlisted Hamer's help in controlling the "circus-like atmosphere" and they got people away from the car. [107] Sperlin, Nicole (March 15, 2019).

By the summer of 1934, new federal statutes made bank robbery and kidnapping federal offenses. The growing coordination of local authorities by the FBI, plus two-way radios in police cars, combined to make it more difficult to carry out series of robberies and murders than it had been just months before. Two months after Bonnie and Clyde were killed in Gibsland, Dillinger was killed on the street in Chicago. Three months after that, Pretty Boy Floyd was killed in Ohio. One month after that, Baby Face Nelson was killed in Illinois. [117] a b "FBI – Bon and Clyde". FBI. Archived from the original on May 16, 2016 . Retrieved July 28, 2016. Hamer was interested in the Barrow hunt assignment, but the pay was only a third of what he made working for oil companies. To sweeten the deal, Texas Department of Corrections boss Lee Simmons granted him title to all the guns that the posse would recover from the slain murderers. Almost all the guns, which the gang had stolen from armories, were the property of the National Guard. There was a thriving market for "celebrity" guns, even in 1934 (Guinn, p. 343).

On November 22, they narrowly evaded arrest while trying to meet with family members near Sowers, Texas. Dallas Sheriff Smoot Schmid, Deputy Bob Alcorn, and Deputy Ted Hinton lay in wait nearby. As Barrow drove up, he sensed a trap and drove past his family's car, at which point Schmid and his deputies stood up and opened fire with machine guns and a BAR. The family members in the crossfire were not hit, but a BAR bullet passed through the car, striking the legs of both Barrow and Parker. [73] They escaped later that night.

While I was reading this book over the last few days I could not help going online to look at all the images. The famous image of her,Bonnie pointing a gun to him, Clyde. I love his little laugh and can see on this photo why she fell in love with him.

Ted Hinton, as told to Larry Grove, Ambush: The Real Story of Bonnie and Clyde, Shoal Creek Publishers, 1979 In a fifth-season episode of Legends of Tomorrow titled " The Great British Fake Off", Ben Sullivan portrays Clyde Barrow and Abby Ross as Bonnie Parker.Yet W/ D. Jones in his 1968 interview with Playboy was also definite: "During the five big gun battles I was with them [which included Joplin], she never fired a gun." Bonnie's mother, Emma, and sister, Billie Jean, were adamant that Bonnie didn't fire even one bullet from the time she met Clyde until her death." - p 398
