Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 1996. xi,187pp. Index. Notes. Photographs. Red cloth, title in white on the spine. First edition, first printing. Fine copy in an equally nice dust jacket. Roger Conger: “The Lives and Times of Bonnie and Clyde qualifies as the ‘definitive’ coverage of the relatively brief Barrow-Parker crime spree.” The author tapped obscure local published accounts, oral histories, previously untapped court records, recollections from some sixty victims, neighbors, relatives and police who were involved in their exploits. Milner traces their backgrounds, their meeting and subsequent relationship, the gun battles, narrow escapes and frequent moves. In all, a full treatment of the lives of these notorious outlaws.
