Created in 1850 by Allan Pinkerton, the Chicago police detective and his agents-for-hire first gain national prominence chasing outlaws on America’s frontier. The Pinkertons foil many train robberies and have famous run-ins with the likes of Butch Cassidy and the bandit Jesse James. Under contract as spies for the Union Army, the Pinkertons thwart an assassination plot against President Lincoln and for a time, Allan becomes a personal guard to the president. Not without controversy, the agency has also been commissioned as union infiltrators and union busters for wealthy industrialists. The most famous Homestead Strike pits the agents against mill workers, resulting in nearly 40 deaths. Today, the company operates in a smaller capacity as Pinkerton.\n
