Description

Death of a Con Man -Soapy Smith's Demise in 1898No other scoundrel could match "Soapy" Smith's utter audacity and unrelenting pursuit of skinning a sucker. Jefferson Randolph Smith II was a genius at running a scam, at organizing a gang of confederates, and at paying off authorities. Smith presented himself as a man of wisdom, a philosopher, a philanthropist, a supporter of law and order, and above all else, an American patriot. He had the inherent ability to look a man in the eye and lie like every word was etched in stone. But, on July 8 1898, Soapy was killed in a shootout in Skagway, Alaska. At the time, newspapers attributed a man, Frank Reid, with putting the fatal bullet through Soapy's heart. Now, 100 years later, historical research has shown that was not the case. Death of a Con Man is a concise, accurate account of the truth behind the myth.Entertaining, as well as informative, the story of the most notorious con man is told with many vintage photographs and illustrations.
