Soapy is my 5x great grandfather on my moms side. His story lives as each generation of my family continues. My great grand father was one of the last Texas Rangers and told me the stories of his fathers grandfather and it gives me pure goosebumps seeing this. Great video!
Well-done as always! I’ve been anxiously awaiting a new series!
Chris, you are the best old west story teller. Love your shows
Wow! That was an awesome story! And Soapy died on my birthday.
Great episode!! Thank you
❤ Thank you. 👍
Another great podcast, Chris. I tend to forget that Alaska was also the Wild West. I visited Skagway and other AK cities five years ago. Lots of stories!
Soapy Smith is my great great grandfather
I'll go rhythm
Great story, I had heard the name Soapy Smith but knew nothing of the story
👍🏻🤠👍🏻
Frank Reid’s monument is huge, and reads “He gave his life for the honour of Skagway.” Soapy’s was non-existent when I was last in Skagway. Fun fact - the stone on the grave of a “hurdy -gurdy” girl reads “She gave her honour for the life of Skagway.”
