Clyde Chestnut Barrow's Life

Clyde Chestnut Barrow, was born on March 24, 1909 in Ellis County, Texas better known just as Clyde from Bonnie and Clyde the infamous bank robbing murderous lovers from the 1930’s. However, before he was a famous thief and killer, he was a normal young man who grew up poor and he and his brother would walk to neighboring farms and steel livestock, but was still considered to be the most honest and good son by his mother. When he was older he got a job as a railroad worker. Before he became the famous bank robber he and his brother got in to trouble steeling a bank safe.

Bonnie and Clyde were killed by an array of gunfire on May 23, 1934 in Bienville Perish Louisiana with more than 150 bullets sprayed by the law men. When the couple was killed and an inventory of their belongings was taken it was found that they had a portable Kodak box camera with many black and white pictures of them summiting crimes and them inside their hangout and finally them in front of their car, machine guns held high. I believe that bonnie and Clyde were the inspiration to many great mobsters, robbers and killers.
