Meet the outlaws of the 1930's
Outlaws are similar to their counter part gangstas. They are seen as legends to people now. The following are some of the "great" outlaws.
Bonnie and Clyde- Everyone has heard of Bonnie and Clyde, if not, get out from under your rock.
"Pretty Boy" Floyd- Floyd was a bank robber from the 30's he was widely known at the time but his name didn't last throughout the years so we haven't really heard much about him. He mainly operated in the Midwest during his time.
