Gold Fever, Skagway and Soapy Smith: Trouble in Skagway
A Short Story from Michael R. Dougherty
Get Ready for an Epic Alaska Adventure!
In 1897, the thrill of the gold rush ignited a fire in Ed Williams like nothing he’d ever experienced.
He quickly hopped aboard a steamship bound for the rugged frontier town of Skagway, Alaska, the gateway to the gold fields.
However, Ed wasn't prepared for the notorious Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith and his crew of rogues and con men. If Ed Williams was to navigate the treacherous waters of the Klondike long enough to strike it rich, he first had to get by Soapy and his band of thieves.
The allure of gold continues to call, and the adventure is just beginning!
A thrilling tale set in the heart of the Alaska Gold Rush.

That Darn Newspaper Headline
“The large words printed on the page screamed at Ed Williams so loud he was unable to ignore them. He was unable to look away. They grabbed at his mind like a mythical Greek siren's wail and pulled him in. There it was in the 1897 edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper.
“GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! Sixty-Eight Rich Men on the Steamer Portland. STACKS OF YELLOW METAL!”

An Instant Preview From Mike's story:
“Then the Skipper yelled, “What are you doing? I told you to pull in the lead line!”
Frustrated, I swung around to look at the Skipper. When I did, the plunger pole slipped out of one hand, and the end of the wooden pole struck him on the side of his head.
Suddenly, I watched in terror as the skipper's body shook in anger.
He looked up at me with furious eyes and yelled, “What?” At that moment, I shot back with, “What do you want me to do? Man the plunger pole or the lead line?”
The Skipper stood there still shaking for an angry moment and loudly growled, “Both!”
