This lecture—part travelogue and part history—chronicles the story of Bonnie and Clyde to separate reality from the myth! For years the public has been fascinated with the story of this Dustbowl Romeo and Juliet, but much of what we know is from the 1967 and 2013 film adaptations. Using both period and modern photographs and video, historian Chris Daley showcases his travels through Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri on the "Trail of Bonnie and Clyde"—highlighting their homes, murders, robberies, shootouts, and hideouts.
