he was just shy of five feet tall, all of 100 pounds, a part-time waitress and amateur poet from a poor Dallas home who was bored with life and wanted something more. He was a fast-talking, small-time thief from a similarly destitute Dallas family who hated poverty and wanted to make a name for himself.
Together, they became the most notorious crime couple in American history — Bonnie and Clyde.
How these two individuals become America's most beloved mass murderers and bonified media stars is a story that cultural historians, biographers, and filmmakers have been chewing on for decades. It's about journalism, the economy, and especially the rise of images — both still and moving.
Our tour chronicles the bloody burst of the iconic criminals into America's collective mind at the height of the Great Depression and their violent end. As we navigate the historical events surrounding both of their lives, we examine the roles played by poverty, the authorities, and the predatory media in the making of the notorious outlaws.

It was a perfect tour; it took us longer than expected, but we stopped at every winery in Grapevine...... and at Doctor Sue's Chocolate. It was delish!Jeffery Bell, Boston, Massachusetts.
