The true story of Kate Warne and the other women who served as
Pinkertons, fulfilling the adage, "Well-behaved Women Seldom Make
History." Most students of the Old West and American law
enforcement history know the story of the notorious and ruthless
Pinkerton Detective Agency and the legends behind their role in
establishing the Secret Service and tangling with Old West Outlaws.
But the true story of Kate Warne, an operative of the Pinkerton
Agency and the first woman detective in America-and the stories of
the other women who served their country as part of the storied
crew of crime fighters-are not well known. For the first time, the
stories of these intrepid women are collected here and richly
illustrated throughout with numerous historical photographs. From
Kate Warne's probable affair with Allan Pinkerton, and her part in
saving the life of Abraham Lincoln in 1861 to the lives and careers
of the other women who broke out of the Cult of True Womanhood in
pursuit of justice, these true stories add another dimension to our
understanding of American history.
