Pinkerton's business insignia was a wide open eye with the caption " We never sleep.

Pinkerton's agency solved a series of train robberies during the 1850s, first bringing Pinkerton into contact with George McClellan and Abraham Lincoln.

Following Pinkerton's service with the Union Army, he continued his pursuit of train robbers, such as the Reno Gang and the famous outlaw Jesse James.

After James allegedly captured and killed one of Pinkerton's young undercover agents, who was foolish enough to gain employment at the farm neighboring the James farmstead, he finally gave up the chase.

Some consider this failure Pinkerton's biggest defeat.

Pinkerton's exploits were in part the inspiration of the 1961 NBC western television series, Whispering Smith, starring Audie Murphy and Guy Mitchell.

Pinkerton's role in foiling the assassination plot against Abraham Lincoln was dramatized in the 2012 film Saving Lincoln, which tells President Lincoln's story through the eyes of Ward Hill Lamon, a former law partner of Lincoln who also served as his primary bodyguard during the Civil War.

Pinkerton's agents performed services which ranged from undercover investigations and detection of crimes to plant protection and armed security.

Charles Vallancey, for example, published a work in 1772 attempting to prove that the Irish language was Phoenician, while John Pinkerton's A Dissertation on the Origin and Progress of the Scythians or Goths ( 1787 ) attempted to show that the Scots were Scythians who had originated in Central Asia.

The historian Sharon Turner later used Pinkerton's research and identified the Saxons as being Scythian.

Onarga was also the location of Allan Pinkerton's weekend estate, The Larches.

In early 1901, through the American detective agency Pinkerton's, he negotiated a return of the painting for $ 25, 000.

Pinkerton's agents performed services ranging from security guarding to private military contracting work.

Weeks pass with Cho-Cho-San anxiously scanning the horizon for the arrival of Pinkerton's ship.

Railroad contracts were subsequently a mainstay of Pinkerton's until railroad companies gradually developed their own police departments in the years following the Civil War.

After the founding of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in 1863, Pinkerton's and the new railroad police agencies became instrumental in crushing strikes of rail workers.

However, Pinkerton's renumbering of the War on Terrorism as the " Twelfth Crusade " has been overshadowed by references to the title of the Cockburn column.
