Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers.
I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on eCRATER every day but the rarer ones about the detectives of the old west like this one are seldom found. The war ceased but the need to preserve law and order was just beginning. For the last few years, they had shaken dice with death – penetrating all parts of the hostile South under which a single careless word or a moment of forgetfulness meant the fate as a spy. THE PINKERTONS WERE GREAT Yep, the skill of their operatives were known for shrewdness, daring and readiness of wit. Following the end of the Civil War, the agents joined up and made one of the most efficient law enforcements ever assembled.
But here is the story of how the Pinkerton’s provided one of the most dramatic chapters of law enforcement in the history of the west. Folks, you might not know the how the enterprising buywell brothers and the Reno family were brought to justice. Click here to check out our other products on eCRATER!
