Omschrijving

""The Molly Maguires: And The Detectives"" is a non-fiction book written by Allan Pinkerton and published in 1887. The book tells the story of the Molly Maguires, a secret society of Irish immigrants who were accused of committing violent crimes in the coal mines of Pennsylvania in the late 19th century. Pinkerton, a famous detective and founder of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, was hired by the coal companies to infiltrate the group and gather evidence against them. The book details Pinkerton's investigation, including his use of undercover agents and informants, and the eventual arrest and trial of the Molly Maguires. It also explores the social and economic conditions that led to the rise of the Molly Maguires and the tensions between the Irish immigrants and the coal companies. ""The Molly Maguires: And The Detectives"" is a fascinating historical account of a little-known chapter in American labor history and the early days of detective work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
