Signed and inscribed by the author on the front cover; inscription reads: To Maggie and Rick. Greetings from the Yukon--J. Robb, 2006. The purpose behind the author's desire to preserve the "colourful five per cent" in water colours is to record the interesting people, so that we can have that heritage to look back on in the future. There are no social barriers or time restraints, as long as these members of the "colourful five per cent" have something that sets them apart from 95% of the people. The book is profusely illustrated; most illustrations are in black and white, and seven are in color. Includes stories, poems, photographs, and drawings. Jim Robb has called the Yukon his home for over 50 years. He specializes in recording by camera, ink or watercolour and pastels the "Colourful Five Per Cent", a phrase he coined to describe the colourful and unusual characters and historical buildings of the North. His career as an artist in the Yukon began in the 1950s. Robb was 22 years old when left Montreal in 1955 and moved to Whitehorse. His early artwork featured pastel and charcoal drawings on raw moose hide. His first sale was three 8x4 foot murals for the bar in the Taku Hotel in Whitehorse in 1957. In 1961 he began to focus on photography, and pen, ink, and watercolour drawings. He would find interesting people and cabins to sketch across the territory - including in Carcross, Carmacks, and Dawson City. He would also follow tips from people working for the mining companies who advised him about interesting shacks they had seen out in the back country. His style took shape, and he began to focus on "the colourful five per cent." It's a term he created and that has become woven into the fabric of life in the Yukon. "I'm not interested in 95 per cent of the population," he says. "I'm interested in the interesting and unique people who set themselves apart at what they work at, and their philosophy in life."

(Crime and Punishment) RECKLESS RALPH'S TWENTY-FIVE CENT NOVEL LIBRARY NO. 2, 1935; FEATURING "PRISON DELIVERY" BY EMMETT DALTON; SIGNED BY EMMETT AND JULIA DALTON ON THE FRONT WRAPPER. Grafton, Mass.: Ralph F. Cummings, 1935. FIRST EDITION. 8vo - 8-5/16" x 5-7/16". Original yellow paper wrappers with titles printed in black to front wrapper, with minor toning along spine and a few light stray marks; also on front wrapper are the full signatures in ink of Emmett Dalton and his wife Julia Dalton; back wrapper with minor toning along the lower edge and other light signs of handling for what is a nice copy of the periodical. 8 pp.; staple bound and laid in wrappers as issued. Reckless Ralph's Twenty-Five Cent Novel Library was an early dime novel fanzine self-published by Ralph F. Cummings. It was devoted to the collecting and preservation of the old-time dime and nickel novels, libraries and popular story papers and all the wonderful American literature contained within them. The feature article in the issue offered here is "Prison Delivery" by Emmett Dalton. Dalton, in addition to being an author, was an outlaw, train robber and member of the infamous Dalton gang in the American Old West. The Dalton gang was implicated in a series of train robberies that began in 1889. In 1892, the M-K-T Railroad posted a $40,000 reward for the capture of the Daltons whose notoriety had increased substantially in just three short years. On October 5, 1892, short on money and long on wanting to out do the James gang's record, the Daltons robbed two banks in Coffeyville, Kansas in one day. While successful in both robberies, the Daltons were not successful in steering clear of an angry mob of local citizens that ambushed them, killing four of the five gang members and leaving the fifth, Emmett Dalton, with 23 gunshot wounds and an eventual life sentence in the penitentiary in Lansing, Kansas. After serving 14 years of his life sentence, Dalton was pardoned by the Kansas governor. After his release from prison, Dalton moved to California where he got married to Julia Johnson, wrote two books, played himself in the Hollywood movie version of his first book, "Beyond the Law," consulted on other movie projects and sold real estate. The first article in the magazine, "Prison Delivery" by Emmett Dalton, is a critique of America's prison policies and prison systems. In it he offers suggestions based on his own personal experiences and observations he made during his 14 years behind bars, as to how to improve the lot of the over four hundred thousand "prison deliveries" (Dalton's term for the men, women and juveniles released from confinement) made every year into the neighborhoods and homes next door to the law abiding masses. Dalton believed that the implementation of his ideas and observations would improve the lives of the people coming out of prison systems every year, and by extension, the lives of all the people who would be coming into contact with them. The second article in the magazine, "Two Remarkable Heroes: The Deadwood Dicks, Senor and Junior, Are the Gentlemen" was written by the magazine's publisher, Ralph F. Cummings. In this article, Cummings argues that a trace of literature from the beginning of time to his present day would "show but few heroes that in the eyes of boyhood would be even judged worthy of comparison with the two greatest heroes known to American literature . . . Deadwood Dick and Deadwood Dick, Jr." I would personally go out on a limb and say that Ralph F. Cummings really, really liked the two Deadwood Dicks! The condition of the magazine is NEAR FINE. Only seven copies located on OCLC/WorldCat. RARE; and probably unique signed by the famous outlaw author and his wife. Note: Magazine will be accompanied by a "Letter of Authenticity" from PSA/DNA Authenticating Services, authenticating both Emmett and Julia Dalton's signatures; PSA/DNA Certification Number: AL04813.

St. Petersburg, Russia, 1822 March 1. In Russian, printed in French and English on verso. Five percent annuity certificate for a loan issued in 1918 with an expiration date of March 1930. . In part: "Certificate of a perpetual Annuity in the Great Book of the Public Debt of the Sinking Fund, representing a Capital of Seven Hundred and Twenty Silver Roubles". The bearer was entitled to an annuity of 36 silver roubles. A sinking fund is a special reserve account into which the issuer promises to deposit funds at regular intervals and use the cash that accumulates to redeem the bonds, giving bondholders extra protection against default. Also signed by the Director of the Commission on verso. At the time this bond was signed, ALEXANDER I (1777-1825) was Czar of Russia (1801-1825). During the reign of Alexander, who was known for alternately befriending and then fighting with Napoléon I, St. Petersburg became the social and artistic center of Europe. NATHAN M. ROTHSCHILD (1777-1836), who created the bulk of his family's wealth with his bank, N.M. Rothschild, and his investments, was the third son of Mayer Rothschild, who had founded a money-lending business in Frankfurt and was the agent of the British government in subsidizing European sovereigns during the Napoléonic Wars. Nathan, who left for England in 1799, where he was a textile and general merchant before moving into finance, was one of the world's richest men when he died in 1836. Nathan's son Lionel was elected to Parliament but was not allowed to take his seat because he was Jewish. Lionel's son, Sir Nathan Mayer Rothschild, 1st Baron Rothschild, was the first Jew admitted to the House of Lords. His son, 2nd Baron Rothschild, received the Balfour Declaration in 1917.NB. A Special Fund of ONE per Cent, on the Amount of this Loan is appropriated for its redemption. Extract from the Regulations of the Commission. Chap. 2:? 22. The payment of the perpetual Annuity, as well as the payment of the outstanding Debts, will be effected in time of Peace, as well as in time of War, without distinction, whether the creditor belongs to a friendly or a hostile nation.? 23. If a Foreigner, proprietor of Inscriptions, dies intestate, the inscriptions shall pass to his heirs, in the order of succession established by the Laws of the Country of which he was a subject.? 24. The Capital placed in the Perpetual Debt being considered as an inviolable Property, sliall be exempt from sequestration, both for claims of the Crown and those of individuals, unless these Capitals, in whole or in part have been given in security for Contracts of provisions, or by any other Articles of Agreement, whether with the Crown or with private individuals, or for the purpose of bailing any claim; in which case they are subject to the general Laws, concerning mortgages and bails. These Capitals are likewise exempted in all cases from every Tax.? 25- No Person can be constrained to take back the whole or a part of the Capital placed in tlie Perpetual Debt. But to facilitate to the Proprietors of Inscriptions the means of converting them, when they desire it into ready money, the Commission will employ annually, for the purpose of repurchasing them, at the current price, a Capital of the Sinking Fund which shall be assigned beyond the Fund necessary for the Payment of the perpetual Interest.This Russian bond from 1822 is widely recognized as the first Eurobond. Issued by the House of Rothschild in London, Frankfurt, Paris and Vienna, the bond promised payment in European currencies, as well as in Russian rubles. Perhaps more importantly, dividends could be claimed in any of the above cities -- effectively protecting the bondholder from the effects of a continental war -- if you are forced to flee the country, you can take your bonds with you to any one of four safe havens and expect payment! This is certified by none other than Nathan Rothschild -- one of the most famous investment bankers of all time. His signature appears on the upper right hand side of the bond. Missing from the bond are the original coupons -- they were all clipped and exchanged for payment. Although titled an annuity, the 1822 issue was a perpetuity -- a promise by Russia to pay a dividend to the bondholder forever -- or at least until the Revolution of 1917.Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836) founded the British branch of the Rothschild banking house in London in 1805 and became the first Jew admitted to the House of Lords. He took a leading part in managing and financing the subsidies that the British government transferred to its allies during the Napoleonic Wars. Nathan Mayer's eldest son, Lionel Nathan Rothschild (1808-79), who succeeded him as manager of the London branch, financed the British government's purchase of a controlling interest in the Suez Canal in 1875.
