The Pinkerton Detective Agency was started in 1850 by Allan Pinkerton. The agency first got on the map by shutting down the terrorist gang called the Mollie Maguires. Pinkerton was also constantly at war with the outlaw Jesse James and his gang. Pinkerton was under constant attack from James but he always outsmarted him. Pinkerton was known for his excellent work in going undercover. He was also known for his strict rules on sobriety. No agent was allowed to drink while employed at the agency so that they could and would be alert 24/7. Pinkerton died in 1884.
