Bonnie died with her wedding ring still on her finger. Divorce was not really an option for a known fugitive. Bonnie and Clyde both had trouble walking The coroner’s report detailed 17 holes in Clyde’s body and 26 holes in Bonnie’s body. Unofficially, there may have been many more. C.B. Bailey, the undertaker assigned to preserve the bodies for the funerals, found that the bodies had so many holes in them in so many different places that it was difficult to keep embalming fluid in them. I've read a few books on this topic, and remember watching the old 1967 movie with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, and I'd been wanting this book for a while. So I finally got it and was pleased with it. Many movies and TV shows have been made about American outlaw couple Bonnie and Clyde, but several never came to fruition, including the Go Down Togetherfilm. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow met in 1930 and together with the "Barrow gang", carried out a series of armed robberies, notably banks, during the Great Depression. The Barrow gang's crimes were highly publicized in American newspapers, and in 1934, Parker and Barrow were gunned down and killed by a group of lawmen in Texas. Years later, their romance, notoriety, and dramatic deaths would prove to be irresistible to Hollywood.Some day they’ll go down together; And they’ll bury them side by side, To a few it’ll be grief— To the law a relief— But it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde. Go Down Together (2010) by biographer and investigative journalist Jeff Guinn offers a sweeping account of the iconic crime couple, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Guinn’s work was praised for uncovering new material about the iconic pair from Dallas (Guinn is a native of Texas). This new material includes family journals and new interviews with contemporary sources. The book’s themes include love, revenge, and rebellion against unjust societal institutions.

Regardless of how one feels about police or criminals, the death of someone soon to start their married life is a tragic affair. Many people might feel this way about police but how many wd feel that way about criminals? At any rate, Guinn seems to try to examine Clyde's murders realistically. It's all too easy to oversimplify & to let sensationlist gossip get the upper hand. Clyde and Bonnie loved lavishing their relatives with money and gifts, (when they could), and they both liked to dress nicely. That was about the only luxury they could enjoy, because they were almost always on the run, never able to relax or enjoy themselves. Most of their robberies netted them so little in the way of booty, they were hardly worth the trouble. I suppose director Arthur Penn's 1967 cinematic critical and commercial success Bonnie and Clyde - starring then-relative newcomers Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway - sort of established the idea of the romantic outlaw duo and their ragtag cohorts for the public at large. (However - and not unusual for a Hollywood production - the screenplay was really only 'inspired by' actual people and events, and took a number of extreme liberties in the presented story.) Author Guinn's work - the kind of book I refer to as exhaustively detailed but sometimes just exhausting - aims to give a much more accurate telling of their life story. However, while the author notes how the gang became folk heroes to some of the downtrodden U.S. population during the agonizing throes of the Great Depression, he also seems to fall a little too often into the same admiration or 'hear no evil' opinion of their activities, in effect glamorizing a group of unrepentant criminals that have few redeeming values. Of course, myth is rarely close to reality. The myth promotes the idea of a romantic couple in stylish clothes who broke the bonds of convention and became a threat to the status quo, who didn't fear the police and lived a life of glamorous luxury outrunning them. The reality was somewhat different. Sometimes incompetent, often careless, Bonnie and Clyde and the Barrow gang lived a hard, uneasy life punctuated by narrow escapes, bungled robberies, injury, and murder. They became one of the first outlaw media stars after some photos of them fooling around with guns were found by police, and the myth-making machine began to work its transformative magic. Soon fame would turn sour and their lives end in a bloody police ambush, but their dramatic and untimely end would only add luster to their legend.Decades later, asked about long-standing rumors suggesting that her infamous former beau was either gay or impotent, she assured the interviewer that Clyde "didn't have any problems at all," and left no doubt that she spoke as an authority on the subject." - p 36
