He once gave my grandpa’s sister a ride to town in rural southern Oklahoma. She said he was a very kind gentleman.

Based on what his son said to us kids, and my uncle, PB Floyd was a good guy. I don't know what this internet radio story will say but the mom was a pip

Yes!! So glad y'all.are.doing pretty boy floyd..hes my favorite old gangster.
I'd heard of this guy's name in the Grand Master Flash song " the message". " Walking round like pretty boy Floyd".... Never knew who the guy was until today ( I'm in UK) , came across your channel by chance. Glad I did ,.very interesting is this!!
This is perfect thank you. He's one of my favorites ♥️♥️♥️♥️
He was my great-great-great cousin
Interesting and well done. My uncle's best friend was Charles Floyd, the son. Mr. Floyd was a nice man and he showed us all the things he had from his dad. He didn't remember much about his dad, my uncle remember him a bit better. Of course I never heard the bad. Fun thing was my grandfather's pal was a constable in Commerce OK who Bonnie and Clyde killed. When I was a kid the old folks would talk about the murder....and I was terrified. I KNEW they would get me. What they didn't tell me was they had long been dead and we're not going to get me.
My Great Grandmother went to his Funeral , said there were thousands that attended .

Yep, Akins cemetery is just right outside of Sallisaw. It's a beautiful place to be laid to rest.
Thank you so much,Gonna watch this now and save J . W . H for tonight .
This information may be included in this as i just started listening.. For a while in his childhood he lived directly across the street from the train depot involved in The Great Locomotive Chase of the civil war. Adairsville Georgia. I played music at a annual festival there one year. His home was in my view from the stage the whole time! Pretty cool!
Great Podcast! 👍
Your podcast are AMAZING: I dont get how you dont have millions of views. Maybe youtube isnt your main platform !
He was my relative. His sister Mary Delta Floyd married into one of the most prominent families in Sallisaw - The Lattimore's.

I’m related to pretty boy Floyd… he was best friends with Bonnie and clide my family has a picture of them together
How do you spin the barrel of a gun????
Charles Arther Floyd is actually an ancestor of mine. An uncle several times removed but still of blood relation. I remember as a kid hearing stories from people who were either around at the time or knew someone that was around and lived in the area at the time how the public almost saw him as a hero for burning loan papers of the banks he robbed. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker were seen a similar light for just leaving large sums of cash with the people they made contact with
No episode 5? But great series
Jesse james. John dilinger ..
he’s apart of my family…
I do not believe that she thought he was in his early 30's at all ..... that is your interpretation while grasping at straws of sensationalism......he was exactly 30 years old when he died
