Divorce Ranch Stories

R E N O, 1947 - There's just one fast way out of a marriage - six weeks in R E N O.

Dubbed the "Divorce Capital of the World," Reno welcomed thousands of divorce seekers. They came from all walks of life... the rich, the poor, the working class, the famous.

If they had the money and wanted their privacy, they stayed on a divorce ranch... a dude ranch catering to divorce seekers. And the most exclusive was the Flying M E south of Reno.

Enter Bill McGee. The  ruggedly handsome cowboy from Montana is hired on as the Flying M E dude wrangler. At 22, he entertained Eastern heiresses with names like Astor and du Pont, and drank with movie legends Clark Gable and Ava Gardner. 

McGee recreates the glitz and glamour of Reno’s divorce ranch days. A true story.
