"I had known Marie since autumn, 1993, after both of us had
worked on a documentary titled Remembering Bonnie and Clyde. She
brought in the "death shirt" and other items to be photographed for
this program. I watched her being interviewed and was impressed by
the story she had to tell. A few days afterward, I sent Marie a
small thank-you card with a note telling her how much I enjoyed
meeting her and that if I could ever be of assistance, she should
call. I didn't expect a response, but shortly thereafter, Marie
called and asked to meet with me, and thus began one of the richest
and most interesting times of my life." --Jonathan Davis
"It's probably too late to change the overall perception that
the American public has of my brothers Clyde and Buck, as well as
Clyde's sweetheart Bonnie Parker and Buck's wife Blanche Caldwell
Barrow. The public's perspective on my family members and friends
has been reinforced by over 60 years of caricature and exaggeration
through the output of the publishing houses and the Hollywood
studios. It began during the days of the old newsreels in the movie
houses and has continued unchanged up through today's modern cable
television networks and satellite communications. No matter which
medium carries the message, the message itself is typically 100%
pure baloney.
The proper place to begin to tell the story of my brothers,
Clyde and Buck, is with our parents, since my father and my mother
played such a big part in all of our lives. Henry B. Barrow, my
father, was born in Pensacola, Florida, on January 10, 1873 . . .
Back in those days, mandatory school attendance was taken pretty
lightly. In fact, my father only went to school one-half-day in his
life. The day he attempted to go, he was brought back home in a
buggy after getting sick at school. Early in his life, he was
afflicted with chills and this condition stayed with him throughout
his childhood years. I've always felt that my father was a victim
of a malaria attack back in his Florida days, to which he developed
a severe reaction. He was extremely sickly as a child in Florida,
and this condition carried over to his early adolescent years in
Texas. However, he was able to assist on his father's farm as his
health improved in his later teen years. Apparently getting away
from the mosquito-infested Pensacola region of the 1880's
eventually improved my father's health.""" --Marie Barrow Scoma
