Con man "Soapy" Smith
My great grandfather was Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith, the infamous confidence man of Colorado and Alaska (1878-1898). I am writing the true life history. I have much of his personal effects, including his roulette table, original grave marker, 100's of letters, and personal items. I am looking for relatives of those he knew, conned, gang members, etc.
