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. Edited by outlaw expert John Neal Phillips; Blanche’s previously unknown memoir is here available for the first time. Blanche wrote her memoir between 1933 and 1939; while serving time at the Missouri State Penitentiary. 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 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 helpful notes and with biographical information about Blanche and her accomplices.
