About Pinkertons (from Wikipedia):
----------------------------------
The Pinkerton National Detective Agency, usually shortened to the Pinkertons, was a private U.S. security guard and detective agency
established by Allan Pinkerton in 1850. Pinkerton had become famous when he foiled a plot to assassinate president-elect Abraham Lincoln,
who later hired Pinkerton agents for his personal security during the Civil War.[citation needed] Pinkerton's agents performed services
ranging from security guarding to private military contracting work. At its height, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency employed more
agents than there were members of the standing army of the United States of America, causing the state of Ohio to outlaw the agency due to
fears it could be hired out as a private army or militia.
First broadcast in 2010 on BBC Radio 4.
