Excerpt from Two Evil Isms: Pinkertonism and Anarchism
Had he not been on the square, Pinkerton's National Detective Agency would have had him in the scrap heap long since, for they have been fighting him for the past thirty years in a persistent and underhanded manner.
The ungrounded attacks made upon him by the Pinkerton's National Detective Agency, have had no effect upon a business which has grown to pro portions requiring the occupancy of the entire seventh floor of the Boyce Building and the employ ment of a large number of busy stenographers and a staff of competent superintendents and operatives, at the main office of Pinkerton Co., United States Detective Agency.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the shadowy world of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, as experienced by a former cowboy turned undercover operative. Through the author's personal narrative, we witness firsthand accounts of infamous historical events, including the Haymarket Riot and the Homestead Strike, offering a unique perspective on labor unrest and social upheaval in late 19th-century America. The author's journey exposes not only the inner workings of the Pinkertons, but also the ethical dilemmas and moral compromises he faced while working undercover. He grapples with the agency's controversial tactics, including infiltration, manipulation, and violence, raising questions about the true nature of justice and the means employed to achieve it. This book is more than just a historical account; it's a powerful indictment of unchecked power and the potential for corruption within institutions. By shedding light on the Pinkertons' often ruthless methods, the author challenges readers to critically examine the complex relationship between power, justice, and the means used to maintain order in a rapidly changing society. Ultimately, this book serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of individual rights and the importance of holding powerful institutions accountable.
