Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Evanston, IL: Clark Publishing Company, 1950. The September, 1950 issue of Fate Magazine, Volume 4, Number 5, a scarce issue in Raymond A. Palmer's now-legendary paranormal-reporting non-fiction enterprise, which began with, in its first issue, Kenneth Arnold's cover account of flying crescents which "skipped like saucers across a pond", an event which, for whatever reason, kicked off the modern era of UFO events. After that, Fate introduced countless events which remain, to this day, fodder for paranormal documentaries and investigation. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, 98 pp. A much better than Very Good example, approaching Near Fine copy but for an small-scale top edge and a lightly touched lower right corner (see scans). As always in 50s pulps, some modest age-toning to the newsprint paper pages, which remain fully supple. See scans. High grade condition for a periodical which often shows substantial wear from use. See scans. Cover has the look of a J. Allen St. John work, but is in fact uncredited. See the scanned image of the contents page for the articles herein, which cover such topics as Hypnotism, Possessed Theater Jacket, Bleeding Sugar Cane, Oliver Lerch, Phantom Billiard Player, Hex, Bleeding Saint, Pan, Spirit Sculpting, Black Magic, Lincoln Prophecies, Flyings Saucers, Midget Mummy (a piece by founder Ray Palmer on a 14" tall adult mummy, Interplanetary Man, and of course much, much else, including the standard Departments, always engrossing in themselves, all on various other paranormal or inexplicable phenomena. Interior art and photography is largely uncredited. A piece of paranormal history, and an example of a unique branch of Americana, in very highly collectible condition. A very rare issue.

First edition. First Edition. Octavo. Original black cloth, Title in gilt on spine, 269 pp., Frontis., Illustrated. Silas Doty was from a very good family, but chose instead, a life of crime. Howes C556 says, "A predatory profession, practised chiefly in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, and told of with gusto by the old rogue at seventy-five; his horrified family succeeded in destroying many copies." Six Guns 461 says "rare" and Ramon Adams offers the following comments, "I hesitated for some time to include this book in a bibliography of western outlaws, but Doty did operate to some extent in the middle and southwestern states. Although he cannot be considered a western outlaw in the usual sense, he was a notorious lawbreaker in his day. This is a rather scarce book owing to the fact that the subject's family succeeded in destroying many copies of it." Professionally rebacked with original spine relaid, and new endpapers. Some light scattered foxing throughout the text, but a very good, tight copy of a rare outlaw item.

Fine copy in a fine 3/4 grey clothy and marlbed boards 20th century signed binding by Alan Grace of Surrey UK, internally a fine copy. According to his autobiography, "He stole none except the fastest horses, traveled only at night and was rarely overtaken. When jailed he could escape through holes that might crush any other man of his size. He was arrested for the murder of his farmhand in 1844 which then became the first murder trial held in Steuben County. He was found guilty and sentenced to prison but was granted a new trial. In 1846, while in the county jail in Angola awaiting his second trial for murder, he cut a hole through the floor of his cell, escaped and headed west. He was identified and arrested near Logansport, Indiana, and, during his return to Fort Wayne in a canal boat, he escaped once again only to be rearrested and returned to the same Angola jail from which he had escaped. He escaped again and decided to head south to take part in the Mexican War. Doty spent time with the forces of General Zachary Taylor near the Mexican city of Monterey. He joined as a cook but shortly resigned and did not stay with the troops as they left for Camargo. He lagged behind and found what he thought to be the best horse he had ever seen, stole it, and proceeded to ride it overnight through enemy controlled territory to Camargo where he presented it to General Winfield Scott as a gift. He stayed on in the good graces of Scott for whom he was constantly running errands. He went to Vera Cruz in September, 1847, caught a steamboat for New Orleans and another on to Louisville. He went to Frankfort, Kentucky, stole a fine horse and rode him to New York State where he traded him to his own father for a team of dapple grays. When he returned to Brockville (Fremont) with the team he declared they were brought back from Mexico. Throughout his life he was rarely challenged by the thought of earning an honest living. He died in 1876 in nearby Reading, Michigan." -- Fremont Historic Preservation, By the Binder.

An action-packed life of 19th-century banditry, as recounted by the notorious outlaw, Sile Doty. While he operated a bit in the southwest, Doty committed most of his mayhem in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, and included murder, robbery, counterfeiting, horse thievery, and repeated jailbreaks, among his skills. He also participated in the Mexican-American War, serving under Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott. Born in 1800, Doty committed crime well into his seventies, and the final chapter of this "as told to" memoir includes sections headed "A free man once more," "Visit my family after an absence of fifteen years," "Single out three men to murder for revenge," and "Honor among thieves growing beautifully less." Howes states: "A predatory profession, practised chiefly in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, and told of with gusto by the old rogue at seventy-five; his horrified family succeeded in destroying many copies."
