Summary
The Lambs were the Kennedys of Vegas, movers and shakers in
a town cutting its teeth on wealth and power. When Bill Lamb
was killed in a horse wreck in 1939, his eleven children
climbed from tragedy to dominance. Often on horseback and
always ready for a good story or a good fight, they were the
most powerful family in Las Vegas for five decades. Darwin was
a little boy when his father died at 46, the age at which his
father before him died, also in a horse accident. Darwin
trapped for pelts and raised orphan lambs to help the family
survive. He lived through a heart attack at 18 and went on to
succeed in politics, business, movies, music, rodeos and
hunting. In his time, he saw it all. This is the riveting story
of his life and a history of the Lambs and Vegas. **
