Very recommendable! The most famous private detective besides Eugène-François Vidocq! The Pinkerton agency was the forerunner of the U.S. Secret Service! He also employed the first known female private detective. Pinkerton also prevented the first assassination attempt on President Lincoln in 1861 known as the Baltimore Plot.
Later in his career he would pursue anti-labor activities, because "he opposed strikes and distrusted labor unions.".
