Clyde Barrow

Part of the "Bonnie and Clyde" famous duo, Clyde Barrow was born in a farm in Texas in 1909. He started his criminal career at an early age. He and his brother, Buck, were involved in several robberies.

In January 1930, Clyde met a 19-year-old waitress named Bonnie Parker and fell in love with her. A few weeks later Clyde was arrested and sent to prison. He tried to escape but was caught and given a 14-year hard-labour prison sentence.

After serving his prison sentence in Texas, Clyde Barrow increased his violent criminal activities. It was with Bonnie Parker, his brother Buck and his wife, Blanche, and two more people that Clyde Barrow formed the legendary "Barrow Gang."

After a succession of robberies and murders, the "Barrow Gang" disintegrated with the killing of Buck Barrow and the arrest of his wife, Blanche.

On May 23, 1934 Clyde Barrow with his partner, Bonnie Parker, died in an ambush in Louisiana.
