From source: Jeff Smith, nicknamed Soapy, was one of Skagway's most famous con men. He arrived in 1898 and started to take advantage of those whose mind was on the gold rush. Men were attracted to Jeff Smith's Parlor where they could enjoy liquor, gambling, and women, and lose money or gold in the process.
This 1898 photo shows a group of men standing on the wooden sidewalk outside Jeff Smith's Parlor in Skagway, Alaska. The building has been reconstructed and is now a tourist attraction. Notes Original photograph: 1898?. Copied after 1902 by Webster & Stevens, who ran a photo-library advertising photographs for newspapers in Seattle, constituting publication under later US copyight law |
