Putnum's Sons, NYC, NY; a 1949 copyright; 296 Pages. The Pinkerton National Detective Agency has an archive of closed cases. James D. Horan was allowed access to these records (`Preface'). Allan Pinkerton fled Scotland in 1840 to avoid arrest as a revolutionary and agitator in the Chartist movement (`Introduction'). He worked in Illinois as a cooper and operated a station in the Underground Railroad. He was the first detective for the Chicago police. He gained national fame in 1856 by arresting a French Swindler in New York City. His agency worked for railroads, express companies, and banks. "Major Allen" was chief of the Secret Service for the Army of the Potomac early in the Civil War. After the war the Pinkerton Agency protected banks, railroads, express companies, and corporations.

Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations.
