Blanche Caldwell Barrow was raised in a loving, religious and law abiding home. Then she met Marvin Ivan "Buck" Barrow, brother of the notorious Clyde Barrow. They fell in love and got married. Because of her love and loyalty to her husband, she spent four months of bloody hell, on the run, then to watch as her husband was dying of a bullet wound to the head. She was shot at. She stepped over the bloody bodies of dead officers. She ran for her life. She was forever blinded in one of eye from glass shards. Her dreams of a normal life had turned into a nightmare. She became a fugitive as a member of the "Bloody Barrows" otherwise known as the Bonnie & Clyde Gang. She spent nearly 5 years in prison. All for the love of one man.

These are her pictures.
