Despite the glamorous image often associated with the Barrow gang, they were desperate and discontent. Blanche Barrow recounted in a recently published manuscript much of what it was like to be constantly running.{{ref|blanche}} Clyde was a machine behind the wheel, driving dangerous roads and searching for places where they might sleep or have a meal without being discovered.
