The most comprehensive biography of Jefferson Randolph "Soapy"
Smith ever written. An extraordinary confidence man, gambler, and all-around bad man is set against the carefully researched
historical times of the evolving Old West. Author and great-grandson Jeff Smith spent 25 years researching and writing the
life and murderous death of one of the West's most infamous, and some say often unfairly maligned, masters of the criminal
arts and natural-born leaders of men. Was Soapy Smith a "good man"? This history points to Sometimes. Was he a "bad
man"? Without doubt, Often. In this book, from Georgia to Texas, from Denver and the silver and gold boomtowns of Colorado,
to Mexico and the Western states to the great Northwest, and to the last frontier, Alaska, you will travel with Soapy Smith
to his criminal empires and final bold, deadly showdown with vigilantes. 660 pages. 54 photographs (most never
before published). Many never before published personal
and business letters and documents. Many new facts and
stories never before published.
