Slide with caption on front in ink: "Soapy Smith" and stamped on front: "Dedman's Photo Shop - Skagway, Alaska" and "Feb 69" Bearded man in a cowboy hat on a light colored horse. Caption written on negative: "Soapy Smith - Skagway, Alaska - July 4, 1898[sic]" (should be July 7, 1898 since he was on the way to the gun fight) This is likely the last picture of gangster Soapy Smith taken before he was shot in a gun fight in Skagway on July 8, 1898.
