A channel devoted to the exhibits, collection, and archive of the Dallas Historical Society. Also featured are lectures and special events that have been hosted by the DHS at the iconic Hall of State building in Fair Park, in Dallas, Texas.
Interesting historical note: Not sure if still occurring today, but for at least 6 decades following the 1934 demise of B&C, many a Texas Lawman have made an after dark stop by the Western Heights Cemetery on Ft Worth Ave @ Navarro St in West Dallas to p!$$ on Clyde Barrow’s grave. Allegedly one such stop occurred in 1992 following a few Shiner Boch drafts at the old DPA club in downtown Dallas.
Clyde played any instrument he could get his hands on. He really loved the sax though, so that's why he was a known sax player. He played guitar, ukulele, flute, piano. Bonnie also played piano and sang.
There was never a civil rights movement here in Dallas the big glass church downtown paid off or told the black pastor of Dallas that they will take care of them if they stop the civil rights movement from coming here
There was never a civil rights movement in Dallas Texas because the big glass church that’s downtown Dallas paid off pastors for the movement not to come here.
@@miltcoon5515 Well, Howard himself did. And his stories are superficial, hastily written, with no attempt whatsoever at deepening the characters or at beautiful description. The philosophy too is extremely thin. Reading Howard is a complete waste of time.
@@ericadler9680 You express yourself very poorly for someone criticizing a prolific, respected and popular writer, albeit one whose fame and renown mostly came posthumously. Perhaps you fail to understand the nuance, subtlety and power of Howard's prose because you fail to understand the language of English. This assertion is evident within your response to me. Here are some excerpts from what you just wrote: "Or at beautiful description" and "The philosophy too is extremely thin". These nonsensical snippets indicate you have no business opining on an artist who you don't have the basic capacity to understand. Also, are you a Nazi? On your RU-vid page you were holding a book up with a swastika. I really hope not because I hate Nazis. So did my dad who was over there killing lots and lots of Nazis 70 years ago. My grandad too, who killed so many Germans in WWI they gave him a bunch of medals!
Howard’s writing has the same grain as the post oaks of his native country-side. You can bet on its resiliency and strength, just as you can with the wood of those trees.
I went to Val-Kill today; 8/21/23. I walked the grounds and found it fascinating. These stories from The Roosevelts Grandchildren are wonderful to hear. Thank you.
People don't realize how much fire-power those B.A.R.'s gave B&C ....That's why Hamer told the posse that they were going shoot them on the spot, as soon as the verified who they were...!.
Thanks for supporting this authors work DHS, I enjoyed this presentation immensely. As a lifelong Dallas resident, I've heard of Bonnie & Clyde's connection(s) to Dallas for years through old newspapers but never saw the pathways, roads, and connections to the areas (Lancaster, Irving, West Dallas, etc.) as they are today. Very informative and interesting.
Thank you for talking about Robert E Howard! I have always loved his work and have always been called to his stories. They're incredible, and his influence on modern literature is immeasurable. It's wonderful he's getting recognition.
I love John Neal Phillips's work on Bonnie and Clyde. Anytime I see a new book or a lecture, I go right for it! He's an amazing writer and a great historian!
in 1972, on the dusty shelves of the USO located on RTNAF U-Tapao Thailand, I found the novels of Robert E. Howard, and have been a "CONANITE" ever since! Ave'! Mssr. Howard! I shall bee ordering this book soon.
I've often imagine dogfaces in WWII passing thumb-worn copies of Weird Tales in troop ships and reading the adventures of REH on their way to war. Glad to hear you found sanctuary in those tales!
I am surprised that Eleanor was accommodating with serving vodka, especially how she apposed drinking due to it taking the lives of her father and brother.
Glad Cliff Harris STILL cares....Us fans still relive what could have been in Super Bowl X and XIII....including Cliff's taunting of Guerilla in X and going away from the Dorsett running game in XIII.
Wonderful to know that there are people in the world that understand that it doesn’t matter what color your eyes are or if your anatomy… you are a human being with a soul that does not believe it’s superior than to one with one different than yours. Don’t fear what is different than from yourself. That is your problem. Don’t condemn others for your own ignorant, concern.
GRATEST FAMILY 👪❤💙IN AMERICAN HISTORY PERSONALLY ANF PRESIDENTIAL . PLEASE SHOW MORE OF THEODORE ROOSVELT BEST BY FAR OF OTHERS IN HIS FAMILY. A BLESSED 👨🧍♂️👩👧👨🦱
Thanks for posting, very nice. Just a correction for your records, the first thing Clint Murchison did was not hire Tom Landry, he hired Tex Schramm, who then hired Tom.
