Feeling blessed that you would say our videos take you away from the sadness of losing your dad. Sorry for your loss, pal. My father is approaching that age too when I will be losing him. Your comment touched me and I pinned it to the top. Blessings!
Hi ! A very interesting and informative vlog! Lots of bullet holes in the car ! Bonnie and Clyde were famous people now and back in the day ! My friend years ago had two horses named after them ! They always ran away, ate peoples gardens, and stood in the middle of the road when cars were driving through!! Aptly named I would say ! LoL !! Take care and have fun on your adventures !!!! Deborah. 🇨🇦
Another excellent episode. Impressed with Hamer's strength of character...a true lawman. I think he lived for truth and that's how he was able to marry his wife with her difficult past. What a time in America, when men were men. Scott said to let you know, not to touch the artifacts on the headstones...reverence. Thank you for another great episode!
That was a good video as it reminded me I saw the car up close Bonnie & Clyde were shot up in, sometime around 2007. It was on display at Boomtown, just outside of Reno, NV on Hwy 80. I had reached across the partition ropes and touched a bullet hole just before I saw a sign that read "Touching this car is believed to bring bad luck!" 😩
James Michener taught history at Colorado State College now University Northern Colorado, in the 1930s. They filmed Centennial back in mid 1970s around Northern Colorado. Great fun watching them film it.
Love the history behind the story of Bonnie and Clyde. Love how you met one of the folks involved in the History and the small bit about Willie's sister was a bonus Thankyou Jeff
Thank you, Maria. We enjoy producing content that is interesting to folks and your comment helps to encourage us. Thank you so much and you have a wonderful weekend too!
a few months ago I read Frank Hamer biography it was a great read , very brave & interesting man , a Texas hero. thank for sharing this & this looks like a fascinating cemetery to visit. A hallowed place that seems to have many famous people in Texas history!
Thanks again Jeff and Sarah enjoyed your episode again appreciate the time you put in on your episodes may God bless you and your family sending you love and hugs have a great week 🤗
I am really glad to finally see this show. Just as I expected you did an excellent job of digging up a lot more information than what I had provided. I think that James Michener is probably the most important person buried in that cemetery. Your descriptions of LBJ were spot on. He was one of the leaders of the "Good Ole Boys" in Texas. I actually got to go visit his ranch just outside of Johnson City, TX. And was able to do it during the period that he was our President. There were tons of Secret Service, Texas Rangers and DPS officers all over there. My Great Aunt took her Sister (my Grandmother), my Sister and my 3 brothers to go visit his ranch. It was quit impressive and beautiful. I will share a picture of us sitting on the fence at LBJ's home. In closing, I really do appreciate the job you have done here. Hope you enjoyed your time with your Son while you were in Austin! Take care!
Another great video guy’s! As a law enforcement officer myself I really liked the Bonnie and Clyde story. I appreciate all the backstory too, learning some details I never knew before. Great work as always! Take care and see ya on the next one! Frank from Philadelphia, PA.
Great video Jeff , Sarah ! Mabye law men today should learn from the past !!!! Won't be so many nuts in today's city's. THANK you Frank from montana.......
Thank you for this Historical account of these Rangers. They sounded like outlaws themselves. The actor was very good. Michener was very good. Thank you for sharing!
Another AMAZING episode. Thankyou so very much! I was in Austin for several months years ago and Never visited these wonderful places. Just watched "The Highway men" today, and then your content showed up... Anyways, outstanding.
I bet you could open your own museum with all your autograph pictures and memorabilia you've collected over the year's. Another great video thanks for sharing Jeff and Sarah 👍
Jeff. I enjoyed this video . I live near Navasota Texas. There is a statue of Frank Hamer in front of the courthouse. As the story goes he was City Marshal durring 1908 to 1911. The City asked the Texas Rangers for help as crime was extreme in this Boom town. Thank you for the great videos.
Awesome video... I remember as a young kid going to Las Vegas and seeing the Bonnie and Clyde car... been interested ever since. Thank you for sharing, take care Jeff. 🇺🇲
Frank Hamer is a legend in the law enforcement community. As a retired law enforcement officer I really enjoy your videos touching on the old Legends. Thanks for taking us on the adventure guys another great video.
I appreciate that. I didn't know you were in law enforcement! That is so cool. Can you imagine, though, what would happen to Hamer and his fellow officers if they "apprehended" a pair of notorious outlaws in the manner they did? They'd be serving time in prison!
@@jbenziggy 😂 yes sir, 19 years. I left LE in 2006 because I had the opportunity to work for our government overseas. If you find yourself back in Texas see your way to the Texas rangers museum. Lots of history. Anyway my friend I appreciate you and your wife, love your channel.
Jeff, WOW! Great VIDEO! As always extremely informative, concise and to the point. I too am a fan of the Highway Men, enjoyed it very much! We had the opportunity to visit the Texus Ranger museum in Waco, I very much regret running out of time and not being able to do so. Jeff, as always appreciate the history lessons and the trips you so graciously allow us to travel along! Tom in Ceres
As always it is a pleasure to hear from you! Seems like all of my time is short too when I am out traveling. Too little time to see it all. I'm happy that you liked this video! Blessings to you, Tom!
Jeff, very interesting video thank you so much for sharing. My grandmother Tracy lived in Kansas in the Southeast corner of the state. She lived in a little town called capaldo which is now Frontenac Kansas, and when she was a young girl she remember seeing Bonnie and Clyde being chased by the Kansas state police after they had robbed a bank in Arma. My grandmother said she saw them a few times driving around Pittsburgh and capaldo because Bonnie and Clyde had family in Joplin Missouri. Another story I wanted to share when I worked for the Henry Ford Museum we had in our archives and article about one of the Ford Motor Company employees going down to Texas to pick up the car that was shot to Pieces by the police. It was such a well made car when Ford had the car driven back up it started on the first turn of the crank and it was driven back to Dearborn Michigan. The engineers up at Ford wanted to look at the car. I thought you might enjoy seeing that. Great video thank you for sharing
You always tell the most fascinating stories. They are very informative and fun to watch. Please keep them coming. As always, thanks for taking us along...
Wonderful and informative, as usual, Jeff. If for some reason I don't have the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year I will do that now. And Sarah too, of course. Stay well and safe. Happy trails.
Hi Jeff! These latest road trips have been absolutely fantastic. This episode was particularly interesting and packed with so many interesting nuggets of information. Thank you so much for the time and work that you put into these episodes. I truly appreciate it and look forward to my Sunday morning cup of coffee with History Hunters. Safe travels!! 😎👍
I really appreciate your effort to elaborate on more details than what our history books provide for us!!! One of these days what you provide for the rest of the world will be long, lost and forgotten. Keep up the good work!!!
I've always been fascinated with the Bonnie and Clyde. I saw the movie with Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson you mention. Found that very interesting too. Thanks for all the info on these two lawmen who did there job well.
Those are some righteous Lawmen!!!! ...it was great to see [some other vlog] the long queue of folks waiting to pay respects at Clyde's viewing as well! That was very surprising! Thanks, guys!
But what I don't understand is why you're not out there right now unzipping and servicing a badged terrorist in person instead of giving them virtual head on here.
Very interesting and thoughtful to post about these lawmen. To many channels focus on the criminal and make them antihero’s. It’s a gloomy day here in Clovis Ca thank you for sharing a little history and sunshine.
Outstanding content once again Jeff! We just watched The Highwaymen last night! Hamer & Gault are legendary. Really enjoyed this episode! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans!
Oh man, now I need to move the Christmas movies aside and watch Highwaymen again! Thanks for sharing this! Hoping life in Tennessee is treating ya’ll well! Lol
@@jbenziggy we’re doing great! Thanks for asking! I still get homesick occasionally when watching videos of Yosemite, Sequoia/Kings Canyon, Morro Bay, Solvang! HEY! Speaking of Solvang, you guys gonna visit there??? Thanks again for all you do! Gas is $2.64 today (just sayin’😉)!♥️
Great video, had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mitchner at a book signing in Toronto Canada, Merry Christmas to you and yours and best for the New Year, cheers!
Thank you Dan! You have a blessed holiday season too! Nice to hear you met Mr. Michener! I bet that was a real quick encounter being it was a book signing.
Sarah and Jeff thank you for another awesome video of Bonnie and Clyde this is wonderful you have gone above and beyond as usual and taking a lot of information and putting it together takes a lot of work I have seen the movie Bonnie and Clyde with Faye dunaway and Warren Beatty and matter fact it was just on recently but I've seen it already like 15 times I have not seen the one with Kevin Costner I was not aware of that one. Seems kind of bad though that the law took them down the way they did filling their cars full of holes and filling them with holes the way they did it they must have had a reason for doing it. I always wondered if there was another way that they could have taken them but maybe not anyway thank you for another awesome video I hope to see you again soon God bless love you lots. ❤️🙋
I am very new to the History Hunters videos, having just discovered them on RU-vid this past week. I am a history buff and so enjoy them very much. Thank you, your presentation is outstanding and I am hooked! I was surprised to learn James Michener is buried in Austin, he is one of my favorite authors and I have every one of his novels. I live in an area where part of Centennial was filmed and remember the excitement surrounding that. Also, the town boasts of being the boyhood home of Glenn Miller. I would love to see a video on this area, if you have not already covered it.
Another awesome video! I remember over 20 years ago visiting the Las Vegas area and supposedly seeing the "Death Car" of Bonnie and Clyde. After the fact I heard maybe it wasn't so not sure. Maybe a video on that????
I saw that supposed Bonnie and Clyde car at a casino outside of Vegas. A guy standing next to us said it was a fake and pointed out how many bullet holes were not as shown in the original pic.
If you haven t seen it, there is a movie about these 2 lawmen, Kevin Costner plays Hamer. He was brought out of retirement to catch Bonnie and Clyde. What an Amazing story!!
Interesting video. Strange fact, or story. Relatives always claimed we had some connection to Bonnie or Clyde, but they never said which. Frankly, I'd rather be related to Connie and Floyd. And no, not the '71 XXX Connie and Floyd, but the other ones. Another interesting bit, my dad did the same kind of knocking around as Michener did, riding the rails and hitching. Born in Bangor ME, or was it Sulphur OK, or maybe Snowball AR? He claimed all three. Anyway, another enjoyable outing with the two of you!
After the election, he was called "Landslide Lyndon." Dig aside, my mom and I went to the LBJ Library in Austin, where we saw a short film about his domestic accomplishments, which were legendary. It's a shame that he probably will be remembered mostly for the Vietnam War. His championship of Civil Rights made him a great president. That is his legacy. Lord knows what Goldwater would have done. BTW, I was a child in Fort Worth in '64, living with my mom and sister at our grandparent's home. I didn't know who or what a "Goldwater" was. All I knew is that it was worse than the devil. I hope you visited the Texas State Cemetery, where so many of the most influential people in Texas history lay. Beautiful, peaceful place. Good video.
Very cool. U ever consider doing a video on the Roseville rail yard bomb explosions in the early 70's? The blasts coukd be heard as far away as woodland
