Allan Pinkerton (1819–1884) was a Scottish-American detective and spy, best known for creating the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Regarded as a pioneering figure in private investigation, Pinkerton's life and career were the epitome of adventure and innovation. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Pinkerton immigrated to the United States in 1842, initially setting up a cooper's business before accidentally stumbling upon a band of counterfeiters, which led to his career as a detective. His agency became legendary for its role in law enforcement and intelligence during a time when the American frontier was rife with outlaws and the nation was plagued by civil strife. Pinkerton was also notable for preventing an assassination attempt on President-elect Abraham Lincoln, which brought him further acclaim. His literary contributions, encapsulated in 'The Collected Works,' comprise numerous accounts of his detective exploits, while highlighting his contributions to undercover work and crime detection methodology. These writings not only provide historical insight into the law enforcement practices of the time but also reflect Pinkerton's dedication to justice and the development of investigative techniques. Allan Pinkerton's work paved the way for contemporary investigative procedures, and his personal narrative continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts of criminal justice history. His agency's motto, 'We Never Sleep,' encapsulates the vigilant spirit Pinkerton embodied throughout his remarkable career.
