Soapy Smith: A Very Bad Man

From the creator

Jefferson "Soapy" Smith was one of the most skilled, and infamous, confidence men in United States history. He was "so dirty he made a crime out of soap." His life of crime is a ripping yarn and a cautionary tale that deserves to be remembered. This is original content based on research by The History Guy.
