The Pinkerton Agency was founded in 1850 by Allan Pinkerton. He was instrumental in bringing down the James gang, the Molly Maguires, the Reno brothers and other criminals of the day. During the Civil War Pinkerton foiled an assassination plot against Abraham Lincoln. Pinkerton opens a window to America and its history with a little bravado, a little humor and adds the detail that made him the most famous lawman of his day.

Pinkerton's Detective Agency,
By Kate (Salt Lake City, Ut) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Thirty Years A Detective (Paperback)
This book is excellent for readers who like detective books. I worked for Pinkerton's for fourteen years as a Private Detective, and enjoyed my work. This book was a true look back at an agency that formed the business of Private Detectives and Security Services. It was the forerunner of what is today's Secret Service, thank's to the Pinkerton's.
I highly recommend this book. Kate Salt Lake City, Utah
