- The BookLife PrizeRENO, 1947. Imagine you've had enough of your cheating spouse. You're ready to leave. But it's 1947. And that means unless your spouse "gives" you a divorce, you're stuck.
Or you could go to Reno!
Divorce seekers by the thousands were running out West to the "Divorce Capital of the World" to get untied from their marital bonds in only six weeks, no questions asked. If they had the money and the need for privacy, they stayed on one of the dude ranches around town. Someone called those dude ranches divorce ranches and the name stuck.
Bill McGee was the dude wrangler on the Flying M E, an exclusive divorce ranch for wealthy Easterners and Hollywood celebrities. He entertained socialites with names like Astor and du Pont, and Hollywood movie stars Clark Gable and Ava Gardner.
These are his stories.
