CLYDE BARROW’S Dallas Childhood (number 1)

Рет қаралды 26,014

Жыл бұрын

Clyde Barrow’s family moved to Dallas in the early 1920’s. See where Clyde Barrow really lived when he was a child. Where did he spend his time? What is left from when he lived there? How did a loving and kind-hearted boy who loved his family above all else grow to become one of the most famous criminals in history? Join me in Dallas as I discuss Clyde Barrow the boy and teenager. See where he went to school, and where he slept at night as part of a family that was barely surviving in one of the worst period’s of economic suffering in American History.
The image of Clyde seen on this thumbnail features an image created by Mystery Scoop, a phenomenal channel whose creator brings historical figures to life through Photoshop. He or she brought adult Clyde to life in one of his early mugshots. I placed that image in FaceApp, a free app readily available to anyone with a Smartphone, aged it down to a child and added a smile. I can claim no credit for this remarkable piece of art. Please check out Mystery Scoop for yourself to look into the faces of history’s most remarkable people. Enjoy!

So sad the filling station was eliminated. Not sure how or why the owners of the property would destroy such a very significant piece of American history ...

@cz4182 Жыл бұрын

It's about money. That area of where the station was is being gentrified to turn into over priced cookie cutter homes for the rich and these developers are offering a lot of money for the land that people own.

@tomr3422 Жыл бұрын

the area is being re-developed land values are sky rocketing. What is sad is the people that claimed to want to preserve the property have had so much time to purchase the property which was really cheap for a very long time ( I grew up about 4 miles from there) and did nothing. I guess wanting to and actually putting your own money into it is different.

My grandpa was a sharecropper. They never had enough money for a camera or to have pictures taken. I would kill for a picture of my dad at 16. His family lived in Louisiana at the same time Clyde lived in Texas. It was worse. Enjoyed your video. It gave me insight into how my dad lived.

@littlemikeism Жыл бұрын

Agreed. My Father was in northern Alabama. He was born in 1932, and the first picture taken of him was in 1948. No cameras around. If so destitute, why so many pictures of the family? Maybe because they were in a city versus the rural areas?

I enjoyed how accurate your video is. I’ve read lots of info on Bonnie and Clydes life and noticed how there’s lots of right and wrong facts about them. To me they were very misunderstood by people. And were trying to get thru their last days for as long as they could. I live in Dallas and i had a chance to see the gas station home in 2020. I also got to see the inside thru a broken window and there was wooden floors and saw a bedside table

Hi! I'm from Midlothian Tx just south of Dallas. We are known as the Cement Capital of Texas. This is a fascinating series. My mom worked on the town square of Lancaster Tx. Bonnie and Clyde robbed the bank on the square and the vault and safe were there for years and years. In 1994 a tornado tore down the building that was the bank. I am sad to not know where the safe is now located.

After watching the Bonnie and Clyde movie which came out when I was 3 years old and asked if they were real people and found that they were. I went to the libraries and collected a lot of information on them and found out they were far more sinister than what the movie portrayed that they were. I also shared this information with other people in my church who remembered them at that time and now many of them have gone home to be with Christ in Heaven. Sadly Bonnie and Clyde were killed and both now burn in hell forever for their crimes so crime does not pay.

Is it true that jail changed him I heard a lot of stories of his first murder was when he was in prison and that serious crimes didn’t start till he left and it’s because he wanted revenge for the awful conditions he suffered in Eastham prison farm

@MMorbid 6 ай бұрын

Yes, that is true. He was brutalized in prison. He dreamed of doing a raid on Eastham to free everybody and was willing to do anything to never go back, including killing police officers. While his dream of raiding Eastham never happened, the jail break he pulled off did lead to reforms of the prison system. He brought just enough attention to the conditions there to at least begin some improvements. I want to cover that topic at some point but I’d like to actually go there, so I’m hoping I can get back to Dallas at some point. There are still numerous sites I didn’t have time for.

As a former Texas corrections officer who worked at Eastham State Farm, Clyde was no angel. Nor a victim of circumstances. He was a psychopath that murdered innocent fathers and sons.
