Soapy Smith was born in Coweta County, Georgia.

Kind of, he overdid a mine or that is what I've heard.

Jefferson "Soapy" C. Smith - Soapy arrived in Skagway, the Gold Rush frontier town, in the fall of 1897. Soapy and his gang fleeced people at crooked gambling or at gunpoint. In 1898, a shooting in Skagway resulted in the death of Smith, who is buried there.
