Clyde did live in that house but NOT at that location. His father owned the house which was originally on Muncie Street. It was during part of the time on Muncie that Clyde lived there. In the early 1930's his father moved the house to that location and added on the filling station part. By that time Clyde was in and out of prison and then on the run with Bonnie. Before owing the house, the family was so poor they lived in what was called Cement City along the Trinity River and lived/slept under his father's horse drawn wagon and in tents. During Clyde's early years the family was beyond dirt poor and barely surviving. I believe Clyde's first crime was stealing local chickens to feed the family.
Took so much work to get this video done, but a labor of love. I think if it had not been for Buck, Clyde might have lived a far more peaceful life. Prison made it far worse. He had been raped and abused there to the point he was never the same person.
In death Bonnie achieved all the fame she had craved in life as thousands sought to get close to her. Sometimes the realization of a dream is so different than the dream itself. I would love to go back in time and be able to interview them both.
As Blanche Barrow said later in life, we were all so young and foolish. We didn't stop to realize what the hell we were getting into and all those we were hurting.
