| Summary |
Bonnie and Clyde were responsible for multiple murders and countless robberies. But they did not act alone. In 1933, during their infamous run from the law, Bonnie and Clyde were joined by Clyde's brother Buck Barrow and his wife Blanche. Of these four accomplices, only one -- Blanche Caldwell Barrow -- lived beyond early adulthood and only Blanche left behind a written account of their escapades. Following her death, Blanche's good friend and the executor of her will, Esther L. Weiser, found the memoir wrapped in a large unused Christmas card. Later she entrusted it to John Neal Phillips, who had interviewed Blanche several times before her death. Drawing from these interviews, and from extensive research into Depression-era outlaw history, Phillips supplements the memoir with notes and with biographical information about Blanche and her accomplices. In addition, Blanche was an avid photographer, and this book includes her previously unpublished photographs, many of which capture her life on the run with Bonnie and Clyde. |
