Bill Gates (frontiersman)
"Swiftwater" Bill Gates was an American frontiersman and fortune hunter, and a fixture in stories of the Klondike Gold Rush. He made and lost several fortunes, and died in Seattle in 1935.
Despite the similarity in name and geography, there is no apparent family relationship between "Swiftwater Bill" and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
