Description

"In 1947, Wyoming cowboy Bill McGee was recently discharged from the Navy and driving a cab in Reno when he got a job wrangling dudes at Lake Tahoe. This in turn led to a job with Emmy Wood at the famous Flying ME Ranch in Washoe Valley, which led, eventually, to this monumental and fascinating memoir of the Nevada divorce ranch era. Bill's recall is phenomenal, and the people he brings to life with his warm and detailed prose are icons of another age. The hundreds of photographs assembled by Bill's wife and co-author Sandra make this a highly desirable addition to your Nevada bookshelf."
