Nevada, 1947, the heyday of the six week divorce when Reno was the "Divorce Capital of the World." Thousands, including socialites, movie stars and housewives, came seeking what they called the "Reno cure." Former dude ranch wrangler Bill McGee saw this world from the close-up perspective of the cowboy working on Nevada's most exclusive dude-divorce ranch, the Flying M E. McGee's book, "THE DIVORCE SEEKERS - A PHOTO MEMOIR OF A NEVADA DUDE WRANGLER", chronicles his time at the renowned Washoe Valley ranch in the late 1940s. His stories are laced with names like Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, and a Roosevelt, du Pont and Astor. Mixed with history, THE DIVORCE SEEKERS provides a valuable history of a unique epoch of the American West.
