TEXAS HIGHWAY--NIGHT Pitch black night broken by the headlight of a 1932 Ford V8 Coupe screaming down a secluded Texas highway. INT. FORD--CONTINUED Three people are crammed into the small Ford along with an arsenal. In the back seat W.D. JONES (17) he is curled asleep on the back bench. In the front seat BONNIE PARKER (22) is asleep on the shoulder of her lover CLYDE BARROW (23) who is driving at near light speed. The Ford’s headlights dimly light the road making it truly hard to see what is out there. Clyde passes a bridge out sign. Suddenly... EXT. BRIDGE--CONTINUED the Ford crashes through the road block--it instantly launched into the air. It comes smashing down rolling three times--the Ford is destroyed but standing upright. The Ford’s fuel line has become split--it is leaking fuel. The cable has come loose from the battery. All three passengers are knocked out. Clyde first to awake gets out of the car--blood running down his nose. He stumbles around trying to gain conciseness. He pulls W.D. out from the wreckage--returning to get Bonnie next.

  • Bonnie and Clyde: the Making of a Legend by Karen Blumenthal, 2018, Viking Books for Young Readers
    Discussion and Activity Guide Bonnie and Clyde: The Making of a Legend by Karen Blumenthal, 2018, Viking Books for Young Readers BOOK SYNOPSIS “Karen Blumenthal’s breathtaking true tale of love, crime, and murder traces Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow’s wild path from dirt-poor Dallas teens to their astonishingly violent end and the complicated legacy that survives them both. This is an impeccably researched, captivating portrait of an infamous couple, the unforgivable choices they made, and their complicated legacy.” (publisher’s description from the book jacket) ABOUT KAREN BLUMENTHAL “Ole Golly told me if I was going to be a writer I better write down everything … so I’m a spy that writes down everything.” —Harriet the Spy, Louise Fitzhugh Like Harriet M. Welsch, the title character in Harriet the Spy, award-winning author Karen Blumenthal is an observer of the world around her. In fact, she credits the reading of Harriet the Spy as a child with providing her the impetus to capture what was happening in the world around her and become a writer herself. Like most authors, Blumenthal was first a reader and an observer. She frequented the public library as a child and devoured books by Louise Fitzhugh and Beverly Cleary. She says as a child she was a “nerdy obnoxious kid with glasses” who became a “nerdy obnoxious kid with contacts” as a teen. She also loved sports and her hometown Dallas sports teams as a kid and, consequently, read books by sports writer, Matt Christopher, who inspired her to want to be a sports writer when she grew up.

  • Bonnie and Clyde
    It’s been more than 80 years since that early morning of May 23, 1934, when a hail of bullets ripped through their car on a rural road about an hour east of Shreveport, Louisiana, and ended their lives. But just as the lives of other bad guys such as the James brothers and Billy the Kid have been romanticized, so too have been the lives of Bonnie and Clyde. BONNIE What made their story so romantic? Was it their youth and the love they shared? Or the dangerous life they lived? Or that they robbed wealthy banks when so many were so AND poor? Perhaps all of the above. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow grew up in the slums of West Dallas. They met in 1930 when Parker, a waitress, was CLYDE approximately 20 and Barrow, a petty thief who had graduated to stealing cars, was a year older. A l ice W at t s Soon after, Barrow did a two-year stint in the Eastham Prison Farm. He came out of prison a hardened criminal who had already committed one murder, that of the inmate who had sexually abused him. He soon turned to a life of crime, and Parker followed him. CONTACT: MOBILE: The Barrow gang consisted of family members and friends. 916-284-1080 They drove fast cars and wore fancy clothes, thanks to the money they took from the banks they robbed.

  • 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.
