Dear Wealth Seeker; Dear Wealth Seeker; Would you like to make an extra $50,000 to $100,000 a year for life? Because of your interest in Making Money, I want to work with you on a personal basis to help you reach your financial goals. My name is Robert Allen. I’m the author of two of the largest selling financial books in history; both #1 New York Times best sellers—read by millions of people in the past 20 years. My current best-selling audio program from Nightingale/Conant is entitled Multiple Streams of Income: How to Generate a Lifetime of Unlimited Wealth. 103,000 people attended my $500 weekend investment seminars in the 80’s. 20,000 people attended my $5,000 week long Wealth Training in the 90’s. Thousands of them are now financially free. I’m now in the process of finishing my latest book in which I reveal many little known financial techniques and strategies for earning 18%, 36% and as high as 50% on your money. All guaranteed by the government! Plus 6 other ways of earning as much as $1,000 a day right from your own home. Every time I write a new best seller I do a challenge to prove that the new techniques can be profitably applied by anyone. When I wrote my first book I said: “Send me to any city in America, take away my wallet, Give me $100 for living expenses and in 72 hours I will buy you an excellent property, all with none of my own money.” The Los Angeles Times took me up on my challenge. They flew me to San Francisco with an L.A. times Reporter. In 57 hours I had purchased 7 properties worth $722,000. Today those assets are worth almost triple that amount. For my next #1 best seller, I did the St. Louis Challenge. I said: “Send me to any unemployment line. Let me select someone who is broke, out of work, discouraged. Let me teach him in two day’s time the secrets of wealth. And in 90 days he’ll be back on his feet, with $5,000 cash in the bank, never to set foot in an unemployment line again...” 7 Robert G. Allen I selected a young couple from the unemployment lines of St. Louis, Missouri. Ninety days later they had earned $5,000 using one of my techniques. In the next 12 months they had earned over $100,000. To celebrate, I took them on Good Morning America with me. To publicize my next book, I accepted an invitation to appear on the Regis Philbin Show. From the studio audience, I selected a woman named Pat Watson. 90 days later, Pat and I were back on the show with an incredible story to tell. Starting from scratch, using my system, she had earned over $20,000. I’ve been working on my latest book for the past 8 years. I’m, now, ready for my next challenge. I call it the Multiple Streams of Income Challenge. “Send me a group of people who want to become financially independent. Let me teach them my strategies for Creating Wealth. In 90 days, they will have developed multiple streams of income. Eventually these streams of income will give them the freedom to do what ever they want for the rest of their lives.” What’s the bottom line? I need success stories. I’m looking for a group of people who are willing to follow my advice and make money with my strategies Interested? I’m in the process of selecting a group of people to work with me on a personal basis. We go into depth in three areas. #1 Real Estate (Nothing Down and Foreclosures) #2 Info-Preneuring (Information and Internet) #3 Financial (Stock Market and Asset Protection) Our Goals are simple: #1 Buy an excellent piece of Real Estate at a bargain price. #2 Start on the road to make a $1,000 a day on the Internet. #3 Make money in the Stock Market. Set up your Financial Fortress with Corporations, Limited Partnerships and Trusts. Read The Road to Wealth. If your intuition tells you that it’s appropriate to work with me, give my office a call at 1-800-748-5199 ext. 8188.

Allen GIVE A MAN A FISH AND YOU FEED HIM FOR A DAY. TEACH A MAN TO FISH AND YOU FEED HIM FOR A LIFETIME. —Lao Tzu 1 TEACH A MAN TO FISH “Excuse me. You’re an average American. How are you doing financially? Are you making enough money?” “I’m doing OK.” “Would you like to do better than OK?” “Sure, I’d like to be doing better! Who wouldn’t want to get out of the rat race, travel, pla y a little golf, buy nice things for the family, be self-reliant, and have some extra cash in the bank? But let’s face it; it’s not realistic. How many people ever make it in America? One percent?” “Oh, so the American dream doesn’t work anymore?” “Maybe a hundred years ago. But today? It’s all a matter of luck.” “What if I could show you that it’s not just luck?” “I’ll believe it when I see it.” “Somehow, I had a feeling you were going to say that. Feel free to be The Challenge 12 skeptical. That’s healthy. But try not to be negative just for the sake of being negative. In other words, don’t shut the door. Leave it open a crack. Because I’m going to prove that the American dream is alive and well and that anyone—including you—can make it happen.” “Yeah? How?” “Let’s start with a challenge: Send me to any unemployment line. Let me select someone who is broke, out of work and discouraged. Let me teach him in two days the secrets of wealth. And in ninety days he’ll be back on his feet, with five thousand dollars cash in the bank, never to set foot in an unemployment line again.” “But why pick an unemployed person? I’m an average American. What’s the matter with me? I’ll volunteer.” “I’m sure you would. But I want to prove that ANYONE can make it in America. And I’m willing to bet everything to prove it.” “Sounds kind of risky. You’re rich. Why don’t you just stay home and count your money or, better yet, distribute it to the poor?” “Believe it or not, I’ve thought of that. But if I redistributed my entire net worth to every man, woman and child on this planet, it wouldn’t be more than a penny or two apiece. There’s a better way. Wealth consists of much more than money. Maybe I could make a lasting impact by giving them my two cents’ worth instead—my advice, my knowledge, my experience.” The more I thought about that challenge, the more I was compelled to try it. Artists are compelled to paint. Musicians have to play. Entertainers must entertain. And I have a compelling urge to help people remove the barriers that stand between them and their dreams. If people from an unemployment line could actually turn their lives around in a few short months, what message would this send to the rest of the country? Wouldn’t it prove that success has nothing to do with luck or status or social connections? Wouldn’t it prove the American dream is for everyone? This book is the true story of how I went to the unemployment lines of St. Louis, Missouri, and under the watchful eye of former St. Louis Mayor John Poelker, selected not one, but three individuals. First, there was Mary Bonenberger, an unemployed mother of two and wife of a Baptist minister struggling to make ends meet. Then, I recruited Philip Moore, a young black man born in the ghettos of St. Louis, with no skills, only a high school education, and no job to help support his wife 13 Robert G. Allen and son. And finally, Nora Jean Boles aboard, a single parent in her middle forties, behind in her mortgage payments, no job in sight. No hope. “So what happened? Did they make it?” “Come see for yourself. But don’t forget that this book is not just about three unemployed people from St.

Copyright © 2020 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

A single reading of a Learned Hand opinion is often merely an appetizer. Second and third readings are often preferable, as intel- lectual satisfaction increases with each reading. Because of this, a more effective presentation would have been made if greater spacing and larger type had been used. It is rather strange that outside judicial opinions, Learned Hand did very little writing. Our knowledge of his great intellect, his respect for the discipline of the system, and, above all, his intellectual honesty, tempered with the humility of the great, is derived almost exclusively from his comparatively short, thoroughly reasoned judicial opinions. Whether the author is successful in his attempt to portray Learned Hand as an outstanding example of judicial greatness to laymen is debatable; but, certainly the editor succeeds in producing a book of both value and entertainment. As a trial judge, I derived great pleasure and satisfaction from this interesting exposition of the work of one of the most competent judges who has graced the bench in the last half century.

  • Devils in Disguise: Masculinity and the Irregular Naval War Along the Lower Mississippi
    Devils in Disguise: Masculinity and the Irregular Naval War along the Lower Mississippi Within weeks of the first volley at Fort Sumter, New Orleans bore witness to an altogether different salvo. On May 6, 1861, the docks at Algiers, Louisiana ignited into flames. Nine commercial steamboats— General Pike, Editor, Grenada, Telegram, Baltic, Republic, Madison, Dollie Webb, and Conqueror— mysteriously caught fire. In a matter of moments, over 4,500 tons of timber splintered into kindling and the combined investment of $28,500 disintegrated into ash. Yet, the event was unremarkable. Despite the magnitude of such a multi- vessel conflagration, the inferno drew little local interest or concern. After all, steamboat fires— usually attributed to boiler explosions— were fairly common in the nineteenth century. On average, twenty-one percent of all antebellum riverboats burned or exploded. Between 1847 and 1857 alone, 230 steamboats caught fire. Between 1816 and 1848, 1,433 people lost their lives in riverboat explosions. As citizens of a prominent port town, New Orleanians would have been cognizant of the innate danger and combustibility of steamboats. As such, local officials quickly dismissed the incident as an accident signifying that the notion of intentional boat burning had not yet entered into the public consciousness. 1 Interestingly, at least one party thought the 1861 New Orleans inferno was intentional. The Cincinnati Daily Press reported that the fire was the work of a “negro incendiary.” Whether the newspaper meant that the culprit was an African American, an abolitionist Republican, or simply a degenerate was unclear. What was apparent was the paper’s declaration that the 1 United States War Department, The Annual Report of the Secretary of War (Washington, D.C., U.S.

  • Burford, David (1791-1864) Papers 1810-1915
    BURFORD, DAVID (1791-1864) PAPERS 1810-1915 Processed by: Harry A. Stokes Archival Technical Services Accession Number: 85.015 Date Completed: December 13, 1985 Location: IX-G-5 Microfilm Accession Number: 1181 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION The David Burford Papers, 1810-1915, are centered around David Burford (1791-1864), army officer, businessman and state legislator from Smith County, Tennessee. The David Burford Papers were placed on deposit by Judge G. W. Allen, Dixon Springs, Tennessee. The collection occupies 1.26 linear feet of shelf space, and numbers approximately 450 items. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the David Burford Papers may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The David Burford Papers, containing 450 items, span the period 1810-1915, although the bulk is largely concentrated in the years 1814-1840. The collection is composed of accounts, correspondence, court records, election records, genealogical data, horse records, land records, legal documents, lists, military records, passes, slave records and several miscellaneous items. Over one half of the collection consists of correspondence addressed to David Burford while he and Colonel Robert Allen were engaged in a mercantile business in Carthage, Tennessee. Most of these letters were of a business nature and concerned payments on account, acceptance of bank drafts for collection and payment, selling of tobacco through various mercantile firms in New Orleans and other financial transactions. Following the financial panic of 1819 the contents of these business letters reflected the general anxiety in business circles. Several correspondents from New Orleans decried the general state of business including the depressed market for agricultural products, particularly tobacco, the inability to procure United States bank notes to remit for drafts left for collection, business failures in New York City, the dull slave market, and many bank failures in Baltimore.

  • The Role of Union Cavalry During the Atlanta Campaign
    AD-A284 554 ETTO 3 Jun 94 Master's Thesis 2 Aug 93-3 Jun 94 The Role of Union Cavalry During the Atlanta Campaign MAJ Robert B. Leach, USA U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Attn: ATZL-SWD-GD Ft. Leavenworth, Ks 66027-6900IOU Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. This study is a historical analysis of the effectiveness of Union cavalry during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War. In a campaign noted for the highly skilled maneuver conducted by General William Tecumseh Sherman, the effective employment of the cavalry was essential. The Union cavalry had the missions of providing security to the flanks of the army and protecting the supply lines by guarding the railroad and by striking against the Confederate cavalry. Later in the campaign, the Union leadership introduced the task of destroying Confederate railroads as a cavalry mission. The Union cavalry failed to perform these missions adequately. First, this work investigates the tradition of the Union cavalry and the state of Sherman's cavalry at the beginning of the campaign. Secondly, an analysis of the cavalry operations breaks the use of cavalry into three phases a-nd focuses on the various missions which were attempted. Finally, the study addresses the lessons learned and what the applicability is for modern operations. This study concludes that although the Union cavalry was well manned and well eauipped, improper employment and deficient senior leadership caused it to play an unsuccessful and detrimental -part in the overall campaign.
