  • I'm Calling About the Neighbors
    I’m Calling About the Neighbors April, 1933; Joplin, Mo. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker had been on a year-long crime spree ever since Clyde was paroled from the Eastham Prison Farm in Texas in February, 1932. Clyde had vowed revenge against the Eastham Prison Farm for the abuse he had endured while he had been locked up, and was planning a raid to free all the prisoners. The gang mostly robbed small town stores and gas stations, stealing cars to make their way from state to state ahead of the police (in the 1930’s police jurisdictions ended at state lines, so if a criminal could make it across into another state, the police could not follow). The gang had originally been Bonnie, Clyde and Ralph Fuchs, but Ralph and Bonnie had been arrested in a botched robbery, and Ralph was sent away for a long stretch - he never rejoined the gang. Bonnie was released after only a few months. in April of 1932, the gang shot and killed J.N. Bucher, and Clyde was accused of murder for the first time. A string of further robberies and murders occurred, including both lawmen and the innocent, totaling five victims between April and the end of the year. W.D.. Williams, only 16 years old, joined the gang in December, 1932. Marvin “Buck” Barrows was released from prison in March 1933.He picked up his wife Blanche and her dog Snowball, and joined Clyde, hoping to talk him out of his life of crime. Instead, Clyde convinced Buck to join them in a “war of Liberation” against Eastham Prison Farm.

  • BONNIE and CLYDE​ Ana Wesley Bonnie Parker Was Bored with Life
    BONNIE AND CLYDE Ana Wesley ​ Bonnie Parker was bored with life and wanted something different. Her chance came when she met a young drifter named Clyde Barrow. But they were both in economic distress, which could have led to their crime spree; greed, the desire for wealth and financial poverty affected them. The fun and excitement that robbing brought them to make the choices that they made. They robbed during the Great Depression. Bonnie and Clyde grew up very differently from each other. According to James R. Knight in his book Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie Elizabeth Parker was born October 1, 1910 in ​ ​ Rowena, Texas. She had an older brother and a younger sister. Knight writes, “When Bonnie was 4 years old her dad died and her mother took her and her siblings to live with her grandmother in Cement City”. When Bonnie was older, she was a very bright student who loved poetry and literature… She had dreams of becoming an actress during her childhood. There were no signs that she would become a criminal”. When she was in her second year of high school, she got involved with a guy named Roy Thornton and in September of 1926, only a couple days before Bonnie's 16th birthday, they were married. In Knight's book, he talks about how Roy began to be physically abusive and their marriage fell apart. They never got a divorce. Roy was sent to jail for multiple robberies, Bonnie moved back in with her grandmother, “and ​ ​ ​ ​ they never saw each other again”(26-27).

But there was a movie, and the names of Bonnie and Clyde are as familiar as those of Billy the Kid or Jesse James. One person we met via the movie was Clyde’s sister-in-law Blanche Barrow, played by Estelle Parsons.
