Alias Soapy Smith

I have been working with my friend, Jeff Smith, to create a short video advertising his new book titled, "Alias Soapy Smith." Jeff is the great grandson of the infamous bunco artist known as Soapy Smith who lived and died in the late 1800's. I have a preliminary version done, but cannot yet show it as we have not yet received permission from all of the artists involved in displaying their wrok.

In the meantime, if you are a fan of old west history, you can order a copy of the book from www.klondikeresearch.com or www.soapysmith.net . I am up to Chapter 10 and I have to say it is one of the most detailed biographies you will ever read and it includes a lot of familiar names from the time period. Did you know that Bat Masterson helped to rig an election in Denver?

Check it out.
