Origins [ edit ]

 In the 1850s, Allan Pinkerton, Scottish detective and spy, met Chicago attorney Edward Rucker in a local
Masonic Hall and formed the North-Western Police Agency, later known as the Pinkerton Agency.[9][10][11]

Historian Frank Morn writes: "By the mid-1850s a few businessmen saw the need for greater control over
their employees; their solution was to sponsor a private detective system. In February 1855, Allan
Pinkerton, after consulting with six midwestern railroads, created such an agency in Chicago."[12]

Government work [ edit ]

In 1871, Congress appropriated $50,000 (about equivalent to $1,067,000 in 2019) to the new
Department of Justice (DOJ) to form a sub-organization devoted to "the detection and
prosecution of those guilty of violating federal law." The amount was insufficient for the new DOJ
to fashion an internal investigating unit, so they contracted out the services to the Pinkerton
National Detective Agency.[13]

However, since passage of the Anti-Pinkerton Act in 1893, federal law has stated that an
"individual employed by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, or similar organization, may not be
employed by the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Pinkerton guards escort
strikebreakers in Buchtel, Ohio, 1884
Columbia."[14]

Chicago "Special Officers" and watchmen [ edit ]

July 27, 1877: J.J. White, who had been hired as a "Special Officer" during a strike, was shot and killed.[15]
July 19, 1919: Hans Rassmuson, Special Officer, was shot and killed.[16]
March 12, 1924: Frank Miller, Pinkerton Watchman, was shot and killed.[17]

Molly Maguires [ edit ]

Main article: Molly Maguires

In the 1870s, Franklin B. Gowen, then president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, hired the agency to "investigate" the labor
unions in the company's mines. A Pinkerton agent, James McParland, using the alias "James McKenna", infiltrated the Molly Maguires, a
19th-century secret society of mainly Irish-American coal miners, leading to the downfall of the labor organization.

 The incident inspired Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes novel The Valley of Fear (1914–1915). A Pinkerton agent also appears in a
small role in "The Adventure of the Red Circle", a 1911 Holmes story. A 1970 film, The Molly Maguires, was loosely based upon the
incident as well.

Homestead Strike [ edit ]

Main article: Homestead Strike

On July 6, 1892, during the Homestead Strike, 300

Frick's letter describing the plans
and munitions that will be on the
barges when the Pinkertons arrive to
confront the strikers in Homestead
Pinkerton detectives from New York and Chicago were
called in by Carnegie Steel's Henry Clay Frick to protect
the Pittsburgh-area mill and strikebreakers. This resulted
in a firefight and siege in which 16 men were killed, and
23 others were wounded. To restore order, two brigades
of the Pennsylvania militia were called out by the
Governor.

As a legacy of the Pinkertons' involvement, a bridge

connecting the nearby Pittsburgh suburbs of Munhall and Rankin was named Pinkerton's
Landing Bridge.

Steunenberg murder and trial [ edit ] Pinkerton men leaving a barge after
their surrender during the Homestead
Main article: Frank Steunenberg Strike

Harry Orchard was arrested by the Idaho police and confessed to Pinkerton agent James
McParland that he assassinated former Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho in 1905. Orchard testified, (unsuccessfully) under threat of
hanging,[18] against Western Federation of Miners president Big Bill Haywood, naming him as having hired the hit. With a stirring defense
by Clarence Darrow, Haywood and the other defendants of the WFM were acquitted in a nationally publicized trial. Orchard received a
death sentence, but it was commuted.[19]

Indiana University [ edit ]

 In 1890, Indiana University hired the Pinkerton Agency to investigate the authorship of a student
"bogus", an underground newsletter, that had been distributed throughout town. While boguses
were not uncommon, this particular one attacked IU faculty and students with such graphic
language that Bloomington residents complained. The detective arrived in Bloomington on April
26 and spent nearly two weeks conducting interviews and dispatching regular reports back to the
home office. In the end, it was town talk that led to the student authors and not the work of the
agent. The seven Beta Theta Pi fraternity brothers were from locally prominent families, including
the son of a Trustee, but all were expelled. In 1892, however, the Trustees granted five of the
men their degrees and all seven were reinstated in good standing.[20][21]

Outlaws and competition [ edit ]

Pinkerton agents were hired to track western outlaws Jesse James, the Reno Gang, and the Wild
Bunch (including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid). On March 17, 1874, two Pinkerton
Detectives and a deputy sheriff, Edwin P. Daniels,[22] encountered the Younger brothers
(associates of the James–Younger Gang); Daniels, John Younger, and one Pinkerton agent was
killed. In Union, Missouri a bank was robbed by George Collins, aka Fred Lewis, and Bill
Randolph; Pinkerton Detective Chas Schumacher trailed them and was killed. Collins was
hanged on March 26, 1904, and Randolph was hanged on May 8, 1905, in Union. Pinkertons
were also hired for transporting money and other high-quality merchandise between cities and
towns, which made them vulnerable to outlaws. Pinkerton agents were usually well paid and well
armed.

G.H. Thiel, a former Pinkerton employee, established the Thiel Detective Service Company in St.
Louis, Missouri, a competitor to the Pinkerton agency. The Thiel company operated in the U.S.,
Canada, and Mexico.
Bogus written and distributed by
Indiana University students in 1890.
Modern era [ edit ] The Pinkerton Agency was hired to find
the authors.
Due to its conflicts with labor unions, the word Pinkerton continues to be associated by labor
organizers and union members with strikebreaking.[23] Pinkertons diversified from labor spying
following revelations publicized by the La Follette Committee hearings in 1937,[24] and the firm's criminal detection work also suffered

 from the police modernization movement, which saw the rise of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the bolstering of detective
branches and resources of the public police. With less of the labor and criminal investigation work on which Pinkertons thrived for
decades, the company became increasingly involved in protection services, and in the 1960s, even the word "detective" disappeared
from the agency's letterhead.[25] The company now focuses on threat intelligence, risk management, executive protection, and active
shooter response.

In 1999, the company was bought by Securitas AB, a Swedish security company, for $384 million,[26] followed by the acquisition of the
William J. Burns Detective Agency (founded in 1910), longtime Pinkerton rival, to create (as a division of the parent) Securitas Security
Services USA. Today, the company's headquarters are located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.[27]

Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op detective stories were based on his experiences working for the Pinkerton agency for several
periods during 1917-22. The Baltimore branch, where Hammett first worked, was housed in the Continental Trust Building; the
Pinkerton agency was not named. Hammett also worked in the San Francisco office, thus many of the Op stories were set in that city.
They were published in Black Mask magazine from 1923-30. There have been several Continental Op book collections. Four of the
stories were combined to form Hammett's first novel Red Harvest.

Former Pinkerton agent Charlie Siringo published an exposé on methods used by the Pinkertons during the 1880s and 1890s in his
1914 book Two Evil-Isms: Pinkertonism and Anarchism. The agency soon suppressed publication of the book and made a request to
the Governor of New Mexico, William C. McDonald, to arrest Siringo for criminal libel and extradite him to Chicago. Governor
McDonald denied their request, but the agency was successful in obtaining a court order to impound all existing copies of the book.
Author Ray Celestin makes reference to Pinkerton agents in his "City Blues Quartet" book series.
