The Bad Boy of Scagway AK
Ha, yes I remember going there. Were you on the photo tour when you visited that site? Did you see the waterfall
not far behind the cemetery? Nice shot

Great shot. Did you visit the grave of Soapy Smith? He was Skagway’s real bad boy. Died in a shootout with a guard named. Frank Reid. Reid and others were guarding the Juneau Wharf in Skagway at the time. Reid was shot and dies several days later. Skagway was a nasty place in 1898. Thanks for sharing your photo.
Thank you all kindly I was on a tour and yes a lot of bad boys and violent deaths

It was an interesting time in Alaska back then.
Haven't visited that cemetery but there were a few really bad boys on both sides of the border.

Yes there were. Go north to the Klondike and Dawson City where bad ruled and bad boys reigned.

I remember seeing that marker when we went there during our cruise. Many years ago.
