Overview

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.

Author Information

Described as half Mary Poppins and half Tasmanian Devil, Carol is an attorney and writer hailing from Leadville, Colorado. Her life has never been boring. Born October 14, 1953 in Canada, she hasn't died yet, narrowly dancing past the inevitable on hundreds of occasions. Her last words will be, Watch this. She's usually on a dirt bike, raft or pair of skis, and if she can't be found outdoors, she's probably baking. Carol gave birth to two Zen masters, daughter Whitney and son Mike, and was como la mama to forty others. She believes that raising good children is the most important thing one can do in life. Carol attended Wellesley College, Wesleyan University and received her law degree from Washington University in St. Louis. She has won multiple awards for her legal work and her writing over the years. Her bags are always packed and sightings of her have been reported in New Zealand, Hawaii and the catecombs under Paris. She loves languages and makes passable attempts at French, Spanish, Greek and Navajo-not bad for the daughter of a hard-rock miner with a ninth-grade education. Being friends with her is like getting a new little red wagon every day. -David Long.
