These colorful characters of the 1930s and '40s lived life’s circumstances as adventures. They lived at a time when they were called upon to build a city and a history-making dam, to grow a fledgling spit of a town in the desert into what would become the world-famous Las Vegas. They were rugged individuals on a desert frontier living ordinary lives during an exceptional time in our history and rose to the occasion. They survived Prohibition, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and made wartime sacrifices.
