Nevada Books

Former dude wrangler Bill McGee may have written the ultimate Western kiss-and-tell. In the late 1940s, Bill worked on the Flying M E, an exclusive dude ranch twenty miles south of Reno catering to wealthy divorce seekers and Hollywood celebrities. Bill and his co-author/wife Sandra recapture these glamorous times in a coffee table book rich in 500 black-and-white photographs (most never before published). Personal stories from Bill and former ranch guests are combined with Nevada history about places, other dude-divorce ranches, and the divorce trade. THE DIVORCE SEEKERS has been cited as "the best book yet about Nevada's famous dude-divorce ranch business." Foreword by William W. Bliss. Hardcover, 444 pp., 8.5 x 11. (Published by BMC Publications ~ Shipped by publisher.)
