He killed his first man at the age of 16 and continued doing so even after the war was officially over. Today, we'll discuss Jesse's rise from a mere bushwhacker to an outlaw as he and his brother Frank begin robbing banks and have their first brush with the infamous Pinkerton Detective Agency. Also discussed are Cole Younger, Clell Miller, and Little Archie Clement.

Allan Pinkerton started the Pinkerton National Detective Agency to catch robbers, counterfeiters and spies. For a time, Pinkerton detectives enjoyed their good image, carefully crafted by Pinkerton himself. But, that image tarnished as the Pinkertons increasingly took on paid work breaking up strikes for Gilded Age industrialists. Today, Lindsay is joined by S. Paul O'Hara, an Associate Professor of History at Xavier University, to discuss Allan Pinkerton's determination to build the company brand and cultivate his own mythology. O'Hara is the author of, Inventing the Pinkertons.

By the late 1800s, the Pinkerton Detective Agency faced public criticism for their anti-labor practices. So the company pivoted, sending Pinkerton detectives out to do what they did best, traveling throughout the west in search of the nation's most audacious and elusive bank-robbing desperados. In time, the Pinkertons also faced competition from a new Federal crime-fighting bureau, and one of their operatives would draw on his experience to write some of the most iconic detective novels in the English language.Pre-order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.

At the peak of their existence, the Pinkerton Detective Agency was *the* crime fighting machine in the United States. They hired the first female detective, notoriously saved Abraham Lincoln from being killed on a train by dressing him in a disguise, among other feats. But, they admittedly had their flaws as well. However, without the Pinkertons' contributions to the industry, we would not have the CIA, FBI, and law enforcement as we know it today. SOURCES:www.legendsofamerica.com/pinkertons/www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/james-agency/#:~:text=Scottish%20emigrant%20and%20abolitionist%20Allan,James%20brothers%2C%20and%20he%20failedwww.history.com/news/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-pinkertons. www.britannica.com/biography/Allan-Pinkerton.www.britannica.com/event/Chartism-British-history.www.intelligence.gov/evolution-of-espionage/civil-war/union-espionage/allan-pinkerton.

On today's Saturday Matinee, we bring you the story of how the Pinkerton Detective Agency started- an agency which would grow to establish itself as America's most innovative and aggressive private police force in the late 1800's.

In the mid-1870s the Pinkerton Detective Agency's fame was growing, and founder Allan Pinkerton began to pen bestselling books that promoted his and the agency's crime-fighting image even more. But after Pinkerton died in 1884, his sons took over and expanded the business, providing guards and watchmen to protect railroads, mines, and factories. By the early 1900s, Pinkertons had become feared labor spies and strike-busters. It wasn't long before their brutal and deadly methods began to attract scrutiny from the press and federal regulators.Pre-order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the early 1850s, Scottish immigrant Allan Pinkerton stumbled upon a counterfeiting operation while gathering wood for his barrel-making business. After helping the authorities arrest the criminals, he was inspired to form a detective agency, to chase bank robbers and train bandits. His business grew quickly and in 1861 he was enlisted to prevent an attempted assassination of President Lincoln. The Pinkerton Detective Agency soon established itself as America's most innovative and aggressive private police force, spying for the Union during the Civil War, and sending agents out to hunt the nation's most notorious Wild West outlaws.Pre-order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've ever seen The Wild Bunch, 3:10 to Yuma, or played Red Dead Redemption series of games you're probably familiar with The Pinkertons. Created by a Scottish immigrant in the 1850's, In the beginning The Pinkerton Detective Agency did everything from spy on the confederacy during the civil war to protecting Abe Lincoln on the train ride to his inauguration. Later they made their name stopping outlaw gangs from robbing trains (i.e. Jesse James, The Wild Bunch). And even later they gave into greed and began infiltrating trade unions and were used as strike breakers against those trying to fight for their fair share and acceptable working conditions. Yeah these guys went from Heroes to Zeroes and we're covering the whole fall.

Get ready for this story because Alana can't stop fangirling over Kate Warne. Decades before women were part of the police force, Kate Warne walked into the Pinkerton Detective Agency to apply to be a detective. Assuming Kate was there to work as a secretary, Allan Pinkerton was taken aback but ultimately swayed by Kate's persuasive argument and agreed to hire her. Over the course of her life, Kate would prove to be an unbelievable asset to the Pinkerton Agency, solving murders, working undercover and saving the life of the President elect, Abraham Lincoln.Tea of the Day: Plum Deluxe Heritage Blend Black Theme Music by Brad FrankSources:On the Inside: Discovery Channel-Pinkerton Detective Agency https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwO6Z2W-IJEAllan Pinkerton: America's Most Famous Private Eye: Biographics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ0byzPA8F0https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-kate-warne-americas-first-woman-detective-foiled-a-plot-to-assassinate-abraham-lincoln-180979829/https://youtu.be/Go_OefM_Z4U?feature=sharedhttps://youtu.be/1d7dbhhFkog?si=PAn_kyQ_D8eYKTlrhttps://www.nps.gov/foth/learn/historyculture/kate-warne-private-detective.htmhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2021/02/15/kate-warne-lincoln-bodyguard-assassins/https://www.womenhistoryblog.com/2011/03/kate-warne.htmlhttps://explorethearchive.com/kate-warne-first-female-detectivehttps://allthatsinteresting.com/kate-warnehttps://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-figures/kate-warnehttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/specialfeatures/miss-scarlet-and-the-duke-meet-historys-early-female-detectives/#https://cowgirlmagazine.com/hattie-lawton-wild-women-wednesday/Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph - 11 Feb 1951, Sun · Page 80 https://www.newspapers.com/image/524659772/The Louisville Daily Courier - 01 Mar 1861, Fri · Page 1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/119232545

Charlie Siringo was born in Matagorda, Texas in 1855 and went on his first cattle drive at age twelve. By age thirty, he had published a bestselling memoir, A Texas Cowboy. His later memoir, A Cowboy Detective, focused on his career with the Pinkerton Detective Agency and influenced early crime novelists. What tales did Siringo have to tell that could fill two memoirs? As Nathan Ward reveals in his new book “Son of the Old West: The Odyssey of Charlie Siringo: Cowboy, Detective, Writer of the Wild Fronter,” Siringo led a colorful life, one not only filled with adventures and encounters with renown westerners, but also a life that helped shape western history. In this episode, Nathan joins Russell and Alan to introduce Siringo and talk about what made the man unique and memorable and deserving of a place in western lore.

Recently, news reported on the raid of a YouTuber's home by the Pinkerton agency in the recovery of some potentially ill-gotten gains.Magic: The Gathering cards...yeah...Anyway, you've probably heard of the Pinkertons before. They have a history so rife with blood they should probably be called the Reddingtons. From protecting trains and stage coaches to spying on the Confederacy during the Civil War, and throwing bricks and sticks of dynamite at striking workers, hundreds have died at the hands of this organization that predated modern law enforcement. Let's dive in, shall we?Join the Ding Dong Darkness Time Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/DingDongDarknessTimeShow Credits:Graphics -- Nathaniel Dickson: http://ndickson.comMusic -- Spencer Morelock, Ken DicksonDing Dong Darkness Time Media:Twitter: @dddarknesstimeInstagram: dddarknesstimeGmail: dddarknesstime@gmail.com

When Boston police arrested Dr. Henry Howard Holmes in a West End boarding house on November 17, 1894, they assumed they had apprehended an interstate criminal guilty of defrauding the Fidelity Insurance company of $10,000 and of being a horse thief in Texas. Holmes had been tracked to New England by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, who had suspected him of other crimes in various cities across the country; yet even the most seasoned and creative detective couldn't have imagined the horrific scope and magnitude of crimes he'd committed.

Happy May everyone! We're back from our brief birthday hiatuses and ready to talk geek with you all. Listen in this week as we talk more about the Mario movie, the Pinkerton Detective Agency, and Valorant's newest skins pack.

It's a news roundup this week on the Goblins and Growlers Podcast! We've got a few nuggets from Wizards of the Coast (including that Pinkerton situation with the pre-release Magic: The Gathering Cards) and a Pathfinder update along with some interesting news from smaller and indie publishers, including a fantastic Kickstarter for a fishing “DLC” for your 5e game. Also! We have a big Spring Sale going on at our Big Cartel store! Most things are 10 percent off and you can use the code "GRAVYBOAT" for free shipping in the continental U.S. We're trying to make some space to order new merch for the convention season that begins in the fall, so help us thin things out by grabbing some of our shirt designs before we finally retire them. Plus, pick up some awesome indie RPGs from our friend, Brazilian game designer Cezar Capacle.   SIGN UP FOR OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER https://goblinsandgrowlers.beehiiv.com/subscribe JOIN 800+ GOBLINS ON OUR DISCORD http://bit.ly/goblindiscord   TOPICS BELOW: ----more---- Andrew Kolb's “Neverland” and “Oz” RPG setting books. We love taking a setting, especially something in the public domain, and creating a game world around them. We discuss what game worlds we'd want to create and play in. What about you? Pathfinder 2E is getting a remaster. What does that mean and what changes players can expect? They're condensing some materials and eliminating the last vestiges of the Open Gaming License from their books in favor of their home-grown ORC License – the fallout from January continues!  We also touch on the new D&D Playtest materials, including the Barbarian, Fighter, Sorcerer (no more bloodlines), Warlock, and Wizard (with simplified subclass names such as "Evoker" instead of "School of Evocation"). All materials are free on the D&D Unearthed Arcana page, and public comment is open until May 17th. Wizards of the Coast sent Pinkerton agents to retrieve prerelease merch from YouTuber Dan "oldschoolmtg" Cannon, who accidentally acquired March of the Machine: Aftermath boxes over a month and a half before retail street date. The Pinkerton Detective Agency was hired to retrieve the allegedly stolen goods, and somewhere between $2,200-$4,400 worth of cards were confiscated. There's a lot of drama and confusion over what actually happened here. Modiphius, probably most well-known for having the license to “Star Trek” and “Dune” RPGs, is releasing a new "original" setting called “Dreams and Machines.” Set on the planet of Evera Prime, which is cut-off from Earth, players attempt to rebuild the human colonies after they were devastated by deadly mechs called Wakers. Using scraps from the advanced technology left by the Wakers, humans have developed their own cultures and factions, such as the Archivists, Dreamers, and Spears. We talk a little about how, for an original setting, it sure feels a lot like a loose adaptation of the Butlerian Jihad from “Dune.” Lastly, we have a Kickstarter for a 5e fishing "DLC" called "Why Slay Dragons: When You Could Be Fishing." This super-detailed and cool game already has a 35-page sample available on the Kickstarter page and was funded in just 5 minutes. Currently, it's 10x its original funding amount, so this game is coming out with quite a few stretch goal goodies. It looks like so much fun – check it out.

Did you know that the Pinkerton National Detective Agency -- famed protector of Abraham Lincoln in the 1800's, and union-busting goon squad in the 1900's -- is still around? And they have time to chase down Magic: the Gathering fans for using prohibited card sets? It's true: Dan & Paul discuss the latest WOTC goony actions, other game-companies that lost their sanity checks, and more. Pinkerton is a private security guard and detective agency established around 1850 in the United States by Scottish-born American cooper Allan Pinkerton and Chicago attorney Edward Rucker as the North-Western Police Agency, which later became Pinkerton & Co, and finally the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. It is currently a subsidiary of Swedish-based Securitas AB. Pinkerton became famous when he claimed to have foiled the Baltimore Plot to assassinate president-elect Abraham Lincoln in 1861. Lincoln later hired Pinkerton agents to conduct espionage against the Confederacy and act as his personal security during the American Civil War. The Pinkerton National Detective Agency hired women and minorities from its founding because they were useful as spies, a practice uncommon at the time. At the height of their power, the Pinkerton Detective Agency was the largest private law enforcement organization in the world. Following the Civil War, the Pinkertons began conducting operations against organized labor. During the labor strikes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, businesses hired the Pinkerton Agency to infiltrate unions, supply guards, keep strikers and suspected unionists out of factories, and recruit goon squads to intimidate workers. During the Homestead Strike of 1892, Pinkerton agents were called in to reinforce the strikebreaking measures of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, who was acting on behalf of Andrew Carnegie, the head of Carnegie Steel. Tensions between the workers and strikebreakers erupted into violence which led to the deaths of three Pinkerton agents and nine steelworkers. During the late nineteenth century, the Pinkertons were also hired as guards in coal, iron, and lumber disputes in Illinois, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Pinkertons were also involved in other strikes such as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. During the 20th century, Pinkerton rebranded itself into a personal security and risk management firm. The company has continued to exist in various forms through to the present day, and is now a division of the Swedish security company Securitas AB, operating as "Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations, Inc. d.b.a. Pinkerton Corporate Risk Management". The former Government Services division, PGS, now operates as "Securitas Critical Infrastructure Services, Inc.".

News with Sean 4-27-2023 …The Pinkerton Detective Agency is still a thing …Be careful because that Something in the Water could be your car

Reilly and George are joined this week on the Hypothetical Island once more by writer Fred Van Lente, for a talk on sleepiness, zombie apocalypses, being tired, baseball, exhaustion, philosophy and never sleeping. Speaking of, Fred talks about his new novel, Never Sleep, releasing soon, which tells the amazing true story of the world's first female private investigators and how they prevented the assassination of Abraham Lincoln!--well, not the Ford Theatre time, another attempt. 

Listener discretion is advised. The Servant Girl Annihilator is a notorious serial killer who terrorized the city of Austin, Texas, in the late 1800s. The killer was responsible for a series of brutal murders that took place between 1884 and 1885. The identity of the Servant Girl Annihilator remains a mystery to this day, and the case has captured the imagination of true crime enthusiasts and historians for over a century. The murders began on December 30, 1884, when Mollie Smith, a young servant girl, was attacked and killed in her bed while she slept. Her attacker used an axe to bludgeon her to death and then proceeded to drag her body out of the house and onto the street. The murder was shocking and caused widespread panic throughout the city. It was the first in a series of similar attacks that would continue for over a year. Over the course of the next year, at least six more women were murdered in similar attacks. The killer targeted young servant girls who worked in the homes of wealthy families. The attacks were brutal, with the killer using an axe or other blunt object to bludgeon his victims to death. The killer also targeted men who tried to intervene, and at least one man was killed while attempting to protect his wife. The Servant Girl Annihilator was known for his stealth and cunning. He was able to enter the homes of his victims without being detected, and he was never caught in the act. The killer also seemed to have an uncanny ability to evade capture. Despite a massive manhunt and the involvement of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, the killer was never identified or brought to justice. The Servant Girl Annihilator case is notable for several reasons. For one, it was one of the earliest documented cases of serial killers in the United States. It also represents a fascinating chapter in the history of Texas, which was still a relatively new state at the time. The case has also inspired countless books, articles, and documentaries over the years. There are many theories about the identity of the Servant Girl Annihilator, but none have been proven. Some historians believe that the killer was a man named Nathan Elgin, who was a suspect in several of the murders. Elgin was eventually sent to an insane asylum, but he was never officially charged with the crimes. Others believe that the killer was a member of a secret society or cult and that the murders were part of some kind of ritualistic practice. This theory is largely based on the fact that several of the victims were found with strange symbols carved into their flesh. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this theory. Another theory is that the killer was a wealthy or influential member of society who was able to evade capture due to his status. This theory is supported by the fact that many of the victims were young servant girls who worked in the homes of the city's wealthy elite. Despite the many theories, the identity of the Servant Girl Annihilator remains a mystery. The case has been the subject of numerous books, films, and television shows, and it continues to fascinate true crime enthusiasts and historians alike. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the case, and several new theories have emerged. Some experts believe that the killer may have been a woman, citing the fact that several of the victims were attacked in their beds while they slept. Others believe that the killer may have been from a gang of criminals, rather than a lone individual. Regardless of who the Servant Girl Annihilator was, his legacy lives on in the history of true crime. The case has inspired countless works of fiction and non-fiction, and it continues to captivate audiences to this day. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chucktuck/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chucktuck/support

This episode covers the murder of Texas A&M senior Charles Sessums in the 1926 college football riot during the halftime of an infamous rivalry game. The budding rivalry between Texas A&M and Baylor University was one of the original rivalries in the sport, which was still relatively new at the time, and in October 1926, tensions boiled over, leading to a violent outbursts between fans on the field, and ending in tragedy for the 24 year old, who was set to graduate the following Spring. The murder was followed by a private investigation by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, and the ensuing inquiries by one detective took him all the way to the Waco, Texas government, revealing a possible conspiracy to cover up who had been responsible for the death of Charles Sessums. All of the source materials for this episode are listed at crimebistro.com for those who are interested in learning more about this fascinating case and it's historical impact on the universities involved, and be sure to visit the podcast on Instagram @crimebistropodcast for additional content and behind the scenes looks at some exciting new episodes to come!

Mark Twain once said, “History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” History of course can't exactly repeat itself. There are too many variables at play that differentiate circumstances. However, those circumstances can still be similar. Because of that, we can still learn from the past, though we often don't. A case in point is the similarity between various global monopolies and those of the robber barons in the later part of the 19th century.  These men controlled vast swaths of the United States economy, giving them the ability to have a huge effect on national policy and to dictate their employees' lives far beyond anything that most people in the Western world will have experienced. Not only would they use their large coffers to ‘lobby' politicians, they would also buy out anyone who looked to be a competitive threat. One might reasonably point out that these start-up companies didn't have to sell. Technically, that's true. In reality, that underestimates the determination of the bigger companies. They would simply charge their potential rivals higher prices for goods or services they provided, or persuade their friends in business to do so. The pressure would become so great that it would sell out or go bankrupt. Should someone continue to resist, it could get ugly. Just go look into the way Edison harassed Tesla. Or the Pinkerton Detective Agency and its role in suppressing unions.  There were of course the justly maligned company towns. While mostly associated with mining companies, there were a few variations on the theme. In their most well-known format, the company town was a place where the employees lived and bought most of their stuff. And everything was owned by the company. That meant rent was paid to the company, all of a family's groceries, clothes, and anything else were all paid back to the company. Why couldn't they buy their stuff elsewhere and break the cycle? Because the company didn't pay them in cash, they paid them in vouchers or tokens that were only redeemable in the town. Other types of company towns would have certain lifestyle requirements like no drinking or smoking. Think of them as a forerunner of the modern Home Owners' Association.  Today, the tech companies look like they are in a similar position as the robber barons of old. They regularly buy out competition. In fact, it recently came out in a congressional hearing that the founders of Instagram felt the need to sell because they would get destroyed otherwise. Tech companies have worked together to censor pundits, governments, officials, even a sitting president. Whether you like the people censored or not, it sets a very dangerous precedent, especially when the same companies will do the bidding of China just for access behind the Great Firewall.  And of course they can influence markets to an unprecedented degree. By controlling the flow of information and mining data they can swing the stock of whole industries just by what they allow to be said. Just look at the way Elon Musk can swing the price of Bitcoin or DogeCoin just with a tweet.  There is also evidence that some of these companies are flirting with the idea of the company town again. Their vast sprawling campuses have a variety of services and amenities that make it tempting to basically stay right there. Some, like Facebook, are openly looking at getting into the realm of real estate. Then there are the more recent stories about Blackrock and other firms buying houses at ridiculous prices in Appalachia. The speculation is that they are intentionally pricing out the middle class and looking to force them to become permanent renters. That's just one general store away from being a modern company town.  Where will it all lead? It's hard to say. We dodged a bullet in the robber baron days. It's hard to say exactly why, but it seems likely that the various communist revolutions that swept Europe in the early twentieth century gave people a wake-up call to change a few things before the same happened here. Can we avoid the pitchforks again? Only time will tell. What's your sovereignty worth? www.tartle.co   Tcast is brought to you by TARTLE.

In 1856, a young woman entered the Pinkerton Detective Agency's offices at 80 Washington Street in Chicago, Illinois, looking for employment. According to his own accounts, Pinkerton politely told her he didn’t need a cleaner or a secretary, but she insisted she wasn’t interested in a traditional woman’s role. She believed the detective service needed her as an agent. After considering her compelling arguments, Allan Pinkerton hired her as his first female operative. This is the story of Kate Warne, the first female Pinkerton detective. Listen carefully, because this story is full of hard to believe details.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we go back in time and look at two of the most famous train robbers and desperadoes from Cowboy Days, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. These two are linked through all of U.S. history, but they were really part of a much larger game called The Wild Bunch (and weren’t even that good of friends). The Wild Bunch led the most successful career of train robbery in the American West, and some scholars say they were only brought down by the hiring of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Butch Cassidy was born Robert Parker, but took his name from a mentor he met, who probably taught him how to steal and sell cattle and how to shoot a gun. Cassidy frowned upon violence, ironically, and boasted to have never killed a man. The other famous member of the gang was The Sundance Kid, aka Alonzo Longabaugh. Both of these men did various crimes from petty to preposterous and eventually joined forces in the Wild Bunch. They were joined by a cast of characters with amazing names: “Elzy Lay", The "Tall Texan", Kid Curry, News Carver, Deaf Charley Hanks, and Flat-Nose Curry. Men and women were part of the Wild Bunch. They gained fame across the nation for their gonzo train robberies and a little bit of a Robin Hood complex. So, what forced the surviving members to head south of the border?

***Disclaimer*** Our audio for this episode was a little messed up! Luckily, we still had all of Nathalie's case, we were just missing some of Rachel's commentary at the end of the episode. Do not fear, you still get two full cases!! This week, we're taking a break from the murders and horrific crimes, and instead, we're talking about two women who played a vital role in law enforcement. Rachel tells the story of Alaska P. Davidson, the first female FBI agent. Alaska was hired to help enforce the Mann Act, aka the White-Slave Traffic Act. Although this law was intended to make it illegal to transport women across state lines for the purpose of sex work, it was often used against people of color and sex workers. Rachel goes into detail about how this act played a role in the arrest of the famous African-American boxer, Jack Johnson, and his wife, Lucile Cameron. Nathalie then tells the story of Kate Warne, the first female detective. Kate walked into the Pinkerton Detective Agency after she saw an ad in the local newspaper. It was assumed that Kate might be applying for a clerical role, but Kate made a case for why she would make a great detective. She argued that traits that were seen as more feminine could be useful investigations. She might be able to get information out of the wives and girlfriends of suspected criminals. Women also paid great attention to detail and were very good observers. Kate proved herself to be an excellent detective after aiding in the case of Adams Express Company embezzlement and also helped investigate and thwart an assassination attempt on president-elect, Abraham Lincoln.

Founded in 1850 by Allan Pinkerton, a Scottish immigrant that went on to become the first detective in the history of Chicago, the Pinkerton Detective Agency became synonymous in American life with conspiracy theories and violent clandestine activities—and with good reason. Though Pinkerton himself was one of the Union's first spymasters during the Civil War and foiled an assassination plot on President Lincoln in 1861, he did what every ex-intelligence community type does after wars nowadays: Uses his government skills and contacts to profit in the private sector. In its early years the agency, something of a precursor to the infamous Blackwater mercenary outfit founded by Erik Prince that is linked to war crimes in Iraq, was at one time bigger than the U.S. Army and connected to outlandishly villainous plots that were in fact true. For example, Pinkerton agents were actually the private armies for the rich industrial titans of the Gilded Age, helping union bust and infiltrate workers groups. Even going so far as to shoot striking workers like a private-death-squad-for-hire in Colorado. Pinkerton agents were also alleged to have firebombed the home of the outlaw Jesse James' mother (while James wasn't there), blowing her arm off and killing his half-brother. Both weren't involved in any of the ex-Confederate's crimes. Well, unlike most companies founded almost two-hundred years ago, the Pinkerton agency still exists and recently, not unlike how the capitalist behemoths of yesteryear used it, it was hired by Jeff Bezos's Amazon to union bust in Europe.

What made Detective Warne so special to the Pinkerton Detective Agency?Bible Verse:Mark 16:15Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation.

This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, we take a look at a legendary labor uprising by a mysterious group known as the Molly Maguires. They were Irish and Irish American coal miners in Pennsylvania in the 1870s who used vigilante violence to fight back against the powerful and exploitative mine owners. But in the end, the mine owners used their dominance over the political and legal establishment to see to it that 20 men, most of whom were likely innocent, were executed by hanging.   Feature Story: The Molly Maguires Hanged  On Thursday June 21, 1877 – 143 years ago this week - ten men went to the gallows in Pennsylvania.  They were known as Molly Maguires – members of an ultra-secret society that used violence and intimidation in their bitter struggles with powerful mine owners. Arrested for their alleged role in several murders, they were convicted and sentenced to death on the basis of very thin evidence and questionable testimony.  “Black Thursday” would long be remembered by residents of the Pennsylvania coal fields as an extraordinary example of anti-labor and anti-Irish prejudice.  The story of the Molly Maguires was one very much rooted in two specific places: rural Ireland and the anthracite region of PA. The latter was the main supplier of the nation’s coal, making it a vital component in American’s unfolding industrial revolution. By the 1870s, more than 50,000 miners – more than half of them Irish or Irish American – toiled in the region’s mines. It was hard, brutal work. They worked long hours for low pay in extremely dangerous conditions. Every year cave-ins, floods, and poison gas claimed the lives of hundreds of miners.  In one fire alone in 1869, 110 miners were killed. It was in the struggle of these workers to improve their pay, hours, and conditions that the Molly Maguire saga began.  Irish immigrants and Irish Americans played key roles in virtually every aspect of the conflict, from the lowliest miner to the most powerful capitalist.  Foremost was Franklin B. Gowen, the wealthy Irish American president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. Tough and ambitious, he ruthlessly drove his competitors out of business in an effort to dominate the state’s two principle industries, coal and railroads.  The only thing he hated more than rival businessmen was organized labor, especially the main miners union, the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association (WBA). Led by an Irish-born man named John Siney, the WBA had won several strikes in the late 1860s and early 1870s that resulted in wage gains and union recognition. Even though he shared an Irish heritage with most of his miners, Franklin Gowan had little sympathy for them. In industrializing America, class interests trumped everything, including ethnicity and culture, and Gowan treated his workers like they were the enemy.  Gowan waited for the right moment to attack, and that came in 1873 when the nation plunged into a severe economic depression that lasted until 1877.  The hard times hurt his bottom line, but Gowen saw a silver lining: hard times also provided an opportunity to kill the miners’ union. In January 1875, Gowan announced a steep cut in wages, a move quickly followed by the region’s others coal operators. The wage cuts triggered a massive miners’ strike throughout the region that paralyzed coal production. But Gowen and other operators had prepared for the strike by stockpiling huge coal reserves that allowed them to continue to sell coal and wait out the desperate and half-starved striking miners. The “Long Strike,” as it came to be known, was doomed. It ended after five months in June with a total defeat for the workers and the destruction of the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association (WBA).  And here’s where rural Ireland figured into the story. Embittered by their loss, a group of Irish miners turned to an old custom – extra-legal justice, or vigilantism.  Irish tenant farmers had for centuries used tactics of intimidation, vandalism, and murder to protest landlord abuses, primarily rent hikes or evictions. These types of tactics of resistance by powerless peasants have been called by anthropologist James Scott, “the weapons of the weak.” According to tradition, the original “Molly Maguire” had been a woman who thwarted her landlord’s attempts to evict her during the Famine.  Many of the Irish miners in the Pennsylvania coal fields came from counties in Ireland where periodic agrarian vigilantism was a firmly rooted tradition.  Molly Maguire activity first arose in the anthracite region in the labor disputes of the early 1860s. But it subsided with the WBA’s success in gaining better wages and conditions for the miners. Now in the wake of the defeat in the Long Strike, the Mollies returned with a vengeance.  Between June and September 1875, six people were murdered – all carefully targeted as agents of the mine owners and enemies of the miners. Having destroyed the WBA, Franklin Gowen saw in the return of the Mollies an opportunity to permanently wipe out any miner opposition to his plans to consolidate power and wealth.  And so, he unleashed a sweeping campaign against the secret society in which he branded all labor activists “Molly Maguires.” He also accused an Irish fraternal organization known as the Ancient Order of Hibernians of operating as a front for the organization. Eventually over fifty men, women, and children were arrested and indicted for their alleged roles in the Molly Maguire violence and murders. Incredibly, the state of Pennsylvania played almost no role in this process. None other than Franklin Gowan served as the county district attorney and oversaw the investigation and prosecutions. A private company – the Pinkertons – conducted the investigation. A private police force employed by the mining companies carried out the arrests. And Gowan and coal company attorneys conducted the trials. As one historian commented, “The state only provided the courtroom and the hangman.”  The first trials began in January 1876.  They involved ten men accused of murder and were held in the towns of Mauch Chunk and Pottsville, PA.  A vast army of national media descended on the small towns where they wrote dispatches that were uniformly pro-prosecution. In an era of rising hysteria over labor radicalism, and the growing popularity of socialism and anarchism – much of it fueled by sensational stories in the mainstream press - the Molly Maguire story proved irresistible. And the coverage was universally negative. The NYT, for example, wrote about “the snake of Molly Maguire-ism,” while the Philadelphia Inquirer condemned the men as “enemies of social order.” The key witness for the prosecution was yet another Irishman, James McParlan. He was an agent of the infamous Pinkerton Detective Agency, an organization that would be more accurately described as a private army for hire that specialized in labor espionage and strikebreaking. Franklin Gowan had hired the Pinkertons in the early 1870s as part of his masterplan of destroying the WBA. James McParlan had gone under cover to infiltrate the Mollies and gather evidence. And gather he did – or at least he claimed he did during the trials. On the stand he painted a vivid picture of Molly Maguire secrecy, conspiracy, and murder. With this testimony, combined with the fact that Irish Catholics and miners had been excluded from the juries, guilty verdicts were a foregone conclusion. All ten defendants were convicted and sentenced to hang.  And in order to send the most powerful message to the region’s mining communities, authorities staged the executions on the same day -- June 21, 1877 – in two locations.  Alexander Campbell, Michael Doyle, Edward Kelly, and John Donahue were hanged in Mauch Chuck, while James Boyle, Hugh McGehan, James Carroll, James Roarity, Thomas Duffy, and Thomas Munley met a similar fate in Pottsville.  Although the hangings took place behind prison walls, they were nonetheless stages as major spectacles that drew huge crowds and generated international news coverage, nearly all of it condemning the Mollies as murderous monsters who got what they deserved.  Still, the Molly Maguire episode was far from over.  Ten more miners would be tried, convicted, and executed over the next fifteen months, bringing the total to twenty. While evidence suggests that some of them men were guilty of murder, the great majority of those executed were likely victims of hysteria and a profoundly unjust legal process. In the end, Franklin Gowen and his fellow mine operators succeeded in stamping out the Molly Maguires, but not the violent clashes between labor and capital they represented. For more than a generation following the executions, miners in Pennsylvania and many other states would continue to fight -- both legally and extra-legally -- against oppressive conditions in the mines. And the mine owners, as they did with the Mollies, did their best to dismiss the agitation as foreign radicalism brought to America by misguided immigrants who did not understand the inherent goodness and justice of industrial capitalism. The miners, of course, knew better. They understood that unregulated capitalism, backed by the full weight of the law, the government, and the media, was neither just, nor democratic. It was exploitation, pure and simple. Sources: Anthony Bimba. The Molly Maguires (International Publishers, 1932). Wayne G. Broehl, Jr., The Molly Maguires (Harvard University Press, 1964).

Chicago, 1866. The Civil War is over, and immigrants are pouring into Chicago from all over Europe looking for a better life. What they find instead are very few jobs, followed of course by a spike in crime, including a rash of brutal sexual murders against women in the mostly Irish and German areas of the city. The Pinkerton Detective Agency is called in by the city's major business interests who feel the police are too inept to solve these dreadful crimes. Pinkerton selects one of his top detectives, Kate Warne, known throughout the world as "The First Lady Detective", to hunt down the murderer. But how deep is Kate willing to travel into the Pits of Hell in order to complete her mission?

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we look at one of the most corporations in American history, the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Known simply as the Pinkertons, they have were a key figure in the taming of the old west. They feuded with Jesse James, killed strikers during labor disputes, and protected the railroad as it expanded. They evolved over the years to become one of the world’s largest modern day security companies, but their legacy as corporate goon squads and private armies is still around today (and for good reason!). The group was said to be founded by Allan Pinkerton (though it was really him and his brother together). Allan was an emigre from Scotland who landed in Chicago as a barrel builder. While there, the stumbled on a counterfeit ring and helped the local sheriff bust them. From there, his life as a crime fighter and detective started. He and his brother started two different detective and security companies but eventually merged them to be the infamous Pinkertons of the old west. So what was so special about the Pinkertons? Well, for one thing, they hired straight up street thugs and armed them. Eventually, they had more members of their group than the US Army had soldiers. Secondly, they were not afraid to get their hands dirty. Their union busting efforts saw their members do everything from firebombing to shooting innocent picketers. What else did they do? They allegedly stopped Abraham Lincoln from getting assassinated on the way to his inauguration. They hired the first ever female detective in the United States. They killed people for JD Rockefeller in the Ludlow Massacre. They blew up Jesse James’ mom and little brother with a bomb. They started the first ever criminal database in the nation, and they were the equivalent of the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service in the 1800s when such things didn’t even exist yet. We cover everything from their time as Union spies during the civil war to their feud with the video game Red Dead Redemption. The Pinkertons are still around, though, so let’s hope we don’t piss them off enough to start spying on us!   Visit Our Sources: https://www.history.com/news/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-pinkertons https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/james-agency/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_(detective_agency) https://www.pinkerton.com/ https://www.wsj.com/articles/pinkerton-detectives-still-exist-and-theyre-tired-of-being-the-bad-guys-11548097818 https://www.loc.gov/item/today-in-history/august-25/ https://www.loc.gov/item/mm75036301/ http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/969.html https://newrepublic.com/article/147619/pinkertons-still-never-sleep https://www.legendsofamerica.com/pinkertons/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_Massacre www.denverpost.com/2014/04/11/100-years-ago-ludlow-miners-and-their-families-were-massacred/

Founded by Scottish immigrant Allan Pinkerton, Chicago’s first police detective, in 1850, the Pinkerton Agency quickly became one of the most important crime detection and law enforcement groups in the United States. The pioneered the concepts of undercover work, criminal surveillance, and building an actual criminal database. The Pinkertons performed many of the same duties now regularly assigned to the Secret Service, the FBI, and the CIA. The agency also played an active role in chasing down a number of Wild West outlaws including Jesse James. And they did so much more.

In the Pinkerton Detective Agency lot at Graceland, most of the graves are worn down and illegible.   Which is probably why it took me so long to find out that a victim of Jesse James is buried there!  Joseph W. Wicher, killed by the James Gang in 1874, is buried beneath the grave on the left below, in a section that looks appropriately like something from the “Wild West” . You can almost make out the name: What’s remarkable about the lot is, though it certainly served as good advertising for the agency just by existed, we know very,…Continue ReadingJoseph Wicher, Killed By Jesse James

She was, as Allan later described her, “A commanding person, with clear cut, expressive features.” He said he wouldn’t call her handsome, but a “slender, brown-haired woman, graceful in her movements and self-possessed.” He also said that she was of an “intellectual cast.” Despite holding her in high regard upon meeting her, however, it never occurred to Pinkerton that she was there for a detective job.
