Clyde Barrow, the crime associate of Bonnie Parker, was born in Texas on March 24, 1909. His father, Henry Barrow, shifted his family to Dallas in 1922; he got arrested for the first time on accusation of car robbery, when he was just 17 years old.

Shortly after meeting Bonnie in 1930, Barrow was imprisoned for robbery in Waco, but soon after escaped using a revolver Bonnie had slipped past through the guards. He was arrested a week later in Ohio and sentenced to fourteen years strict labor but was paroled in 1932, over the next two years he became the well-known head of a gang of armed bank robbers incorporation with Bonnie.

On April 13, 1933, the Barrow Gang closely escaped being captured in Missouri as Police raided their hiding place after a tip from doubtful neighbors. A now-famous roll of film containing snaps of Bonnie and Clyde was found in the hiding place.

Clyde’s brother, Buck, and Buck’s wife Blanche had also become part of the mob. Buck was killed, and Blanche was captured in an afterward incursion in Missouri. Bonnie and Clyde escaped again in 1934; they unchained an ex-gang associate from Texas, along with another criminal. It was a courageous machine-gun incursion in which one guard was killed and numerous were injured. Both Barrow and Bonnie were entrapped and shot by law enforcement officers on May 23, 1934.
