Original photo from IMDB, Robert Carradine (right)
I was sad to hear about Robert Carradine's Passing this morning. I loved cinema when I was growing up. It was the movies that gave me my love of western history. And the Carradine family was a dynasty that went back to the early days of film making. The above photo is from the movie " The Long Riders" Keith Carradine (L) played Jim Younger, David Carradine (M) Played Cole Younger and Robert Carradine (R) Played Bob Younger.
The Long Riders
The hills of Clay County wild and free, an outlaw's dream, the border battle made them brave, with scores to settle along the way. They mounted up, headed north, to Adair town where they shook the earth, they rode the southern borders meeting folks along the way, they seemed polite and always paid, but then they robbed to local bank, they rode long and fast, it was Jesse's way, with the brother Frank beside him they gained the outlaw fame, the fastest bandits of the west, outlaws to some, hero's to the rest. The posse couldn't keep up, the long riders a step ahead, back into Missouri they rode, until the very end.
